    Area of Science:

    • Histology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Bone biopsies require fixation and decalcification for histological analysis.
    • Traditional methods can be time-consuming or compromise tissue integrity.
    • Cancellous bone presents unique challenges for decalcification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel procedure for simultaneous bone biopsy fixation and decalcification.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the new method.
    • To assess the quality of histological results, especially for cancellous bone.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing mild acidic fixatives, such as Bouin's fluid.
    • Employing continuous circulation of fixative through an anion-binding ion exchange resin column to remove calcium.
