title: [Bone biopsies of cortical bone segments (technique, evaluation)].
abstract: 13 drill biopsies were microscopically examined and evaluated in respect of their histologic quality. 8 biopsies were obtained with a diamond hollow cutter, the other 5 specimens were sampled with a modified milling cutter according to Burkhardt. Regarding proper evaluation of bone biopsies e.g. in cases of osteomyelitis, factors as presence of bone marrow cavity or drill powder play an important role. Considering these factors the modified milling cutter according to Burkhardt yields, precise and careful handling provided, better results than the diamond hollow cutter.
