chronic osteomyelitis, clinical picture with confection by other organism lead to
misdiagnosis. A case of tubercular osteomyelitis of talus reported here for its
rarity and atypical presentation. Clinical suspicion and histological confirmation of
diagnosis is recommended avoiding undue delay and for early chemotherapy.
