We present two cases of tuberculosis osteomyelitis mimicking subacute osteomyelitis and treated without extensive debridement. Tuberculous osteomyelitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of proximal tibial infections in children and early diagnosis and treatment is possible without extensive debridement.
