Özet

Background: Tuberculous tenosynovitis of the wrist is rare among cases of musculoskeletal tuberculosis. It is a slow, progressive disease with silent symptoms, leading to a late diagnosis. Also, it can be misdiagnosed as inflammatory arthritis, pyogenic infections, and inflammatory tenosynovitis. Thus, patients present with destructive changes of the bone and joint, as well as abscesses, often receive incorrect or unnecessary medical and surgical treatment.
