Abstract
Tubercular arthritis affecting the foot is uncommon. Isolated calcaneocuboid joint tuberculosis has never been reported in the literature. Herein we report a case of 43-year-old male who presented with insidious onset pain in hindfoot of 4 months duration. Radiograph revealed destruction of calcaneocuboid joint along with cuboid. Computed Tomography scan further consolidated the findings. Diagnosis was confirmed from aspiration from joint with culture of mycobacterium tuberculosis. Anti-tubercular chemotherapy was started and good clinical response was noted. We reported this case because of its rarity to involve calcaneocuboid joint and the excellent outcome with medical treatment.Entities:
