Obtaining a bone biopsy in acute hematogenous osteomyelitis using a new surgical instrument: A technical note

Abstract

Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis is an infectious and inflammatory tubular bone disease involving the bone marrow. The final diagnosis is made based on a morphological study obtained from a bone biopsy. We have developed and patented a surgical instrument (Patent RU No 176629) for one-stage osteoperforation and trepan biopsy. Bone biopsy specimens obtained have been tested for their suitability for morphological examination, namely light and electron microscopy. It has a diagnostic and therapeutic function. This report aimed to describe a new bone biopsy tool that allows obtaining specimens suitable for morphological studies.
