Incidental Skeletal Tuberculosis in a Case of Subtrochanteric Fracture of the Femur

Skeletal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare extrapulmonary manifestation of TB, accounting for only 1%–3% of all cases. [1] It predominantly affects the spine, and long bone involvement, such as in the femur, is exceptionally uncommon. We present a case of incidental skeletal TB diagnosed during the surgical management of a subtrochanteric fracture in a 48-year-old male. Prompt surgical intervention and initiation of antitubercular therapy led to favorable functional and radiological outcomes.
