Case: A 9-month-old male child presented with swelling over the distal radius that was debrided, and histopathology revealed tuberculosis. Curettage left a large bony defect in the distal radius metaphysis. The defect was not surgically addressed because near-complete spontaneous filling of the defect was seen at 3 months' follow-up. The patient was given antituberculous therapy for 12 months and had excellent outcomes at 24 months' follow-up. Conclusion: A large bony defect secondary to tuberculosis, in the distal radius metaphysis in an infant, regenerated spontaneously without the need for bone substitutes, bone grafting, or complex microvascular procedures.

AIDS presenting as radial bone tuberculosis and pyogenic methicillin-sensitiveStaphylococcus aureusosteomyelitis

et al. 2020

Osteomyelitis is a rare initial presentation of HIV. We report a case of a 25-year-old, apparently well man presenting with a traumatic, pathological fracture of the right radius. He had a 2-week history of low-grade fever, swelling and purulent discharge of the radial aspect of his right forearm. Osteomyelitis, secondary bacteraemia and pneumonia were clues that led physicians to test for HIV. Multiple debridement, sequestrectomy and vacuum-assisted closure were done. Tissue cultures revealed Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. He was treated successfully with 6 weeks of culture-guided intravenous oxacillin, staphylococcal decontamination and first-line anti-TB regimen (rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, pyrazinamide). Antiretroviral agents were started thereafter. Successful infection control and preservation of limb functionality was achieved with a multidisciplinary team approach. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of an adult patient with HIV presenting with tuberculous and pyogenic osteomyelitis of the radial bone.
