    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.
