The authors report toward a monocentric retrospective and descriptive study on a 08 year period, 33 cases of knee osteoarticular tuberculosis (OAT) of adult, certified by bacteriologic and/or histolological evidence proof of the sample (synovial biopsy) after a knee arthrotomy. There were 07 cases of arthritis and 26 cases of osteoarthritis. The treatment of knee OAT was medical (anti-tubercular poly-chemotherapy) on one year duration. The surgery was useful in front of some clinical presentations. After a minimum of 18 months, a functional evaluation was done following the Lequesne algo-functionnal index. None had signs of local recurrence testifying the adequacy of medical treatment, even if it is long and binding. The main of our case series is to establish an epidemiological, clinical and biological profile of the knee tuberculosis of adult and to research elements of prognosis through an analysis of results.

Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the foot, an uncommon and rare entity, accounts for <0.01% of all tuberculous localizations. Osteomyelitis secondary to tuberculosis is difficult to diagnose and treat, requiring a high suspicion index. We report a case of tuberculous osteomyelitis of the fifth metatarsal bone treated with the induced membrane technique. Here, we report the case of a 40-year-old woman with a history of immunosuppressive treatment presented with a complaint of painful swelling of the left foot. Radiographs showed osteolytic lesions of the fifth metatarsal bone. Initial biopsy suggested tuberculosis. She was surgically treated with the induced membrane technique. Histology confirmed tuberculous osteomyelitis and antituberculous treatment was initiated. Full weight-bearing was allowed after 8 months. At 24 months follow-up, all symptoms were resolved. The radiographs showed an integrated graft. In conclusion, the presence of osteolytic lesions on a plain film should rise high suspicious for a possible infection requiring biopsy, and if confirmed, mandates surgical debridement and reconstruction. The induced membrane technique offers a mean to treat infectious bone defects.
