Isolated tuberculous tenosynovitis of the Achilles tendon A case report

Abstract

While mycobacterium tuberculosis is mostly localized in the spine, tendon involvement is not common. Flexor tendons of the hands are the commonest site for the tendon involvement. We present a case of tuberculous tenosynovitis of the Achilles tendon, which is very rare.
