Abstract:
Tubercular osteomyelitis is a rare manifestation of skeletal tuberculosis, particularly affecting the metacarpals. Here, we report a case of a 20-year-old male patient presenting with tubercular osteomyelitis of the second metacarpal. The patient’s diagnosis, treatment, and clinical outcome are discussed to provide insight into this uncommon presentation and its management.
