The hand and wrist are rare sites for tuberculosis (TB) and account for < 1% of all skeletal TB. Though rare, TB of the wrist is a cause of major morbidity. A common feature in the available reports on wrist TB is a delay in diagnosis causing residual stiffness and pain after treatment. Although TB of the wrist has a varied presentation, the majority of lesions respond to conservative treatment. We report a 12-year-old girl who presented with wrist swelling, having intercarpal, carpometacarpal, and radiocarpal joint involvement which turned out to be tuberculous and it healed with residual deformity.
手部和腕部是结核病(TB)的罕见发病部位,占所有骨骼结核的比例不到1%。尽管罕见,但腕部结核是导致严重发病的原因之一。现有关于腕部结核的报告中的一个共同特征是诊断延迟,导致治疗后残留僵硬和疼痛。虽然腕部结核的表现多样,但大多数病变对保守治疗有反应。我们报告一名12岁女孩,她因腕部肿胀就诊,腕骨间关节、腕掌关节和桡腕关节均受累,结果诊断为结核,经治疗后愈合,但遗留了畸形。
