University College of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (INDIA)<br />

We report the clinicoradiological features of tuberculosis in the clavicle in 5 patients.<br />

The patients’ ages ranged from 9 months to 29 years. All patients were managed<br />

with antitubercular drug therapy for one year and one underwent surgical<br />

debridement and curettage as well. Clinicians should be aware of the varied<br />

presentation (pain, non-healing ulcer, abscess, multifocal osteoarticular tuberculosis)<br />

of this condition. With the worldwide resurgence of tuberculosis, clinicians should<br />

maintain a high index of suspicion. The diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis is<br />

usually made on clinico-radiological features.Key words: clavicle; tuberculosis,<br />

osteoarticular<br />
