Tuberculous spondylitis in the Orthopedic Department of the Charit Surgical Polyclinic in Berlin, according to the study of Bergmann'a (Arch. F. Orthop. U. Unf-Chir., 1923, XXII), during the time from 1912 to 1922 was established 342 times, which is 23% in relation to all bone-tuberculosis patients.

Bone Tuberculosis

This is a literature review on the pathogenesis and epidemiology of bone tuberculosis (BTB).Full-text papers from 2001 to 2017 were included. After inclusion criteria were met, 23 papers were selected for analysis. Results show that in most cases of BTB, the spine is the main site involved, regardless of the geographical regions analyzed; hip and knee involvement are also frequent. These three sites are the most prevalent, totaling approximately 70 - 80% of infections. The major forms of involvement are tuberculous spondylitis, tuberculous osteomyelitis, primarily in areas of long-bone growth, as well as cases of chronic disease leading to tuberculous arthritis, mainly in endemic areas. The results also indicated that boneinvolvement is still prevalent, being the fifth cause of extrapulmonary disease involvement in Brazil. This review highlights the role of tuberculosis in public health, especially in economically active groups where BTB is most prevalent.

15% of Tuberculosis patients have extra pulmonary lesions of which 1 to 3% have bone and joint lesions. In the musculoskeletal system, tuberculous spondylitis is most typical form of the disease; however, joint changes in extraspinal sites, such as the hip, knee, wrist & elbow, also may occur. Involvement of sternoclavicular joint is very rare. In 2 of the world's largest series of osteoarticular TB, sternoclavicular joint involvement was reported in less than 0.5% of cases with less than 20 cases reported till date. However, with the emergence of drug resistant tuberculosis and large number of immunocompromised patients, the incidence may increase. We report a case of left sternoclavicular joint tuberculosis in an adolescent boy. As this entity is rare, level of suspicion is low and suspicion regarding TB arises only after poor response to antibiotic treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment is mandatory for good result Keywords: Tuberculosis, sternoclavicular joint, extrapulmonary tuberculosis DOI:10.3329/jom.v11i1.4286 J Medicine 2010: 11: 102-104
