abstract: Radiologically guided percutaneous musculoskeletal biopsy can be done rapidly and precisely with highly accurate results and is nearly painless with only local anesthesia. Orthopedic surgeons should consider including a radiologist in the team with the patient and pathologist when such biopsies are necessary.
