Bone Marrow Biopsy Needle Design Influences the Bone Content of Recovered Specimens.

Abstract: Introduction: The integrity and composition of bone marrow core biopsies may be influenced by many parameters including patient age, sex, bone density, operator experience, needle selection and biopsy technique. Biopsy needle design impacts on a needle’s performance and the quality of recovered specimens. We studied the effect of modifying the Snarecoil bone marrow biopsy needle tip on the recovery of trabecular bone in core specimens. Methods: 7 patients, ages 35–92, M/F = 4/3, (2 leukemias, 1 … Show more
