Bone Biopsy

A bone biopsy is a medical procedure where a small sample of bone tissue is taken so it can be examined in a lab. This helps doctors diagnose conditions like infections, cancer, or bone diseases. The procedure typically involves numbing the area, then using a special needle or small surgical tool to remove the sample. It is usually done in a hospital or clinic and might cause some discomfort but is generally safe. The tissue sample provides valuable information about the health of the bone and helps guide appropriate treatment.
