Diagnostic Efficacy and Clinical Impact of Image-guided Core Needle Biopsy of Suspected Adult Nonvertebral Osteomyelitis
In a retrospective study of 883 image-guided biopsies of suspected nonvertebral osteomyelitis, microbiological cultures were positive in 28.7% (253/883) of biopsies, a histopathologic diagnosis of osteomyelitis was made in 51.6% (197/381), and 26.2% (231/883) of biopsies affected clinical management.
