Purpose. To review 10 children with calcaneal tuberculosis in terms of presentation, healing, and functional outcome. Methods. Medical records of 7 boys and 3 girls aged 7 to 12 (mean, 9.8) years who presented with calcaneal tuberculosis were reviewed. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate of all patients was elevated. All patients presented with pain and swelling around the lateral malleolus and a 'healup' sign; 7 of them presented with an additional discharging sinus. Three patients had palpable lymph nodes in the right inguinal or left popliteal region. Symptoms had lasted for one month to 1.5 years. Two patients had healed tuberculosis in the lungs; 8 patients had no pulmonary involvement. Seven patients had a single lytic lesion in the calcaneal body (n=1), tuberosity (n=3), and extension to anterior process (n=3). Three patients had multiple lytic lesions in the calcaneum; one of them had bilateral involvement who had lesions in

Background: The purpose of this study was to review the cases of isolated tuberculous osteomyelitis of calcaneum in terms of clinical features, radiological features, treatment and outcome.Methods: Medical records of 9 patients (7 males and 2 females) aged 4 to 45 years (mean 21.33 years) who presented with isolated calcaneal tuberculous osteomyelitis were reviewed. Clinical features, laboratory tests result, findings of imaging modalities, and histopathological examination were noted. The location of involvement of tuberculosis and treatment offered were noted. Multifocal tuberculosis and articular involvement were excluded.Results: All patients presented with pain and swelling around the heel; three of them presented with a discharging sinus. Patients had involvement of calcaneal body (n=5), tuberosity (n=2), and anterior process (n=2). The erythrocyte sedimentation rate of all patients was elevated. All the patients were treated conservatively with immobilization and chemotherapy.Conclusions: Isolated calcaneal tuberculosis is rare and the prognosis with non-operative treatment is good.
