Abstrakt: Open biopsy advocates prefer transpedicular biopsy (TPB) because it maximizes tissue retrieval, thus providing the highest diagnostic success rate. Open biopsy is especially relied on after failed needle biopsy or in selected presumed primary bone or cartilaginous tumors (1). However, the complications and morbidity associated with an open surgical procedure provided incentive for the development of closed needle biopsy techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
