Abstract
Tuberculosis is a global health problem that affects millions of people each year. Although pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common form of the disease, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, including joint tuberculosis, is also a significant clinical problem. Joint tuberculosis is a challenging condition to manage, and surgical intervention is often necessary to prevent joint destruction and disability. This brief case report presents a particularly rare form of joint tuberculosis and its therapeutical management.
