Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1. (A) Adamantinoma of the tibia: the piece was resected en bloc with the scar and biopsy path. (B) Osteosarcoma of the distal femur; intraoperative aspect of the procedure of wide tumor resection, biological reconstruction, and fixation - three-dimensional resection of the biopsy pathway, resected together with the specimen in sequence.
Figure 2
Figure 2. (A-D). Core needle biopsies. (A) A 40-year-old female patient with suspected enchondroma/chondrosarcoma in the proximal segment of the right humerus. A radioscopy-guided biopsy of the affected segment was performed with trephine. Diagnosis of grade 1 chondrosarcoma was confirmed. (B) A 52-year-old male patient with suspected metastatic lesion of undetermined origin in the right iliac. A radioscopy-guided biopsy with trephine was performed. Diagnosis of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma was made. (C) A 30-year-old female patient with a bone lesion in the left iliac. A radioscopy guided biopsy with trephine was performed. A diagnosis of simple bone cyst was made. (D) Jamshidi needle for bone biopsy mounted next to the extraction probe ("pusher"); chuck and trocar hinge at the T-handle; The trocar has a tapered stylet tip and the chuck features a "triple-crown" type cannula tip - these features provide a sharp and effective cutting tip for improved cortical penetration and medullary advancement that requires 25% less physical force. Appearance of the collection of four bone tumor samples.
