Many studies have described the osteoarticular involvement of tuberculosis, but very few cases of tubercular osteomyelitis
of the foot have been reported. We describe a case of spina ventosa affecting the second metatarsal bone, and review the literature
to describe the clinical manifestation, imaging aspects and the treatment of skeletal tuberculosis.
Key words Spina ventosa - Tuberculosis - Metatarsal bone - Debridement
