Core Tip Tuberculosis may present in a subclinical state that hindered the diagnosis and subsequent management. Technetium-99m-ethambutol scintigraphy is a useful noninvasive method to detect early stage of joint tuberculosis in which morphological and laboratory changes are still unclear. By using this method, earlier diagnosis and prompt intervention can be made especially in tuberculosis endemic regions, to avoid unnecessary procedures resulting from disease advancement.
