ABSTRACT: Osteoarticular tuberculosis is one of the rare forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis especially when it involve the foot bones. This article highlights rare case reports of 3 cases of osteoarticular tuberculosis, 2 affecting the bones of foot and the third, the distal femur. Out of three cases 2 were treated as category 3 of RNTCP (Revised national tuberculosis control programme) and for the last case we added Inj. streptomycin during the first 2 months of treatment. It was found that the last case recovered quickly when compared to the other 2 cases. All three cases were very rare presentations amongst osteoarticular tuberculosis.
