title: A new instrument for bone drill biopsy.
abstract: Modern treatment of bone tumors requires more biopsies to be taken for diagnosis and evaluation of treatment. Two types of bone biopsy are distinguished: Open, and closed or drill biopsies. Both have advocates and adversaries. We describe a new instrument for drill biopsy which is easy to handle.
