Caries sicca is a rare form of tuberculosis affecting the shoulder joint, comprising 1-3% of skeletal tuberculosis cases. It mainly involves the head of the humerus and progresses to involve the glenoid cavity and joint space. Caries sicca presents with insidious onset of pain in the shoulder, especially at night, and patients typically present 3-6 months later due to gradual progression. Radiological findings include periarticular osteoporosis, peripheral bony erosion, and gradual narrowing of the joint space. The mainstay of treatment is early diagnosis and anti-tubercular chemotherapy, with early gentle mobilization advised to retain functional gain.
