Introduction:
Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a rare benign bone lesion primarily affecting the tibia, characterized by fibrous tissue proliferation with varying osseous involvement. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, imaging, and histopathological analysis. Traditional bone biopsies for OFD can be challenging due to the lesion's nature.
Case Report:
We present a case report of a young patient presenting with pain concerning for OFD and describe a novel technique for biopsy and curettage using a vacuum-assisted bone harvester.
Conclusion:
The vacuum-assisted bone harvester allows the surgeon to effectively obtain a biopsy and curettage.
