Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Maulana Azad Medical College & Associated Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi-110 002. drdsabat@rediffmail.com

Tuberculosis rarely involves wrist joint and is usually diagnosed in arthritic stage. Early presentations are easily confused with traumatic event and commonly missed. We describe a case presenting with scapholunate dissociation initially, which later progressed to full blown arthritis. Similar presentation has never been documented.
