Abstract

Foot tuberculosis is rare and often diagnosed late due to non-specific symptoms and lack of typical radiological findings. Early diagnosis and a combination of anti-tubercular therapy and surgical intervention are crucial for preventing deformities, ensuring successful recovery without significant long-term complications.
