Abstract
The localisation of acute haematogenous pyogenic osteomyelitis following a local injury is well known. Whilst there is often a history of trauma in patients developing bone and joint tuberculosis, its role is obscure. Two patients are reported who developed histologically proven tuberculosis in the vicinity of closed fractures during the healing process. These two patients make a total of four so far reported.Keywords
