Percutaneous core biopsy using a Jamshidi needle is a safe and accurate method for diagnosing bone lesions, providing definitive histopathological results in most patients with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Diagnostic Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Percutaneous core biopsy of bone lesions is crucial for timely and definitive diagnosis, guiding patient management.
  • This minimally invasive technique is cost-effective and associated with very low complication rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the adequacy, diagnostic yield, and accuracy of percutaneous core biopsies for bone lesions.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 136 patients undergoing core biopsies for bone lesions over 18 months.
  • Jamshidi (J) needles were utilized for tissue acquisition, followed by histopathological examination.
  • Biopsy results were analyzed for diagnostic success and accuracy.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Histopathological diagnosis was achieved in 89% of patients (121/136).
  • The procedure demonstrated high accuracy, with 96.9% of confirmed diagnoses being accurate via J-needle biopsy.
  • No major complications were reported, with only a small percentage requiring multiple biopsy attempts.

Conclusions:

  • Core needle biopsy is a vital, safe, reliable, and accurate tool for evaluating bone lesions.
  • It offers significant advantages over open bone biopsy, yielding diagnostic information in a high proportion of cases.
