Ep. 106 Advanced Strategies for Targeted Bone Biopsies with Dr. Peter C. Thurlow
A bone biopsy can reach the target and still miss the diagnosis. In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, host Dr. Neil Jain is joined by Dr. Peter Thurlow to discuss how lesion selection, imaging review, trajectory planning, and device choice determine whether a targeted bone biopsy produces a useful sample without compromising future treatment. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- This podcast is supported byVarian OmniBonehttps://cancercare.siemens-healthineers.com/products/interventional-oncology/musculoskeletal/omnibone --- Timestamps00:00 - Introduction04:17 - Approaching Focal Bone Lesions06:17 - Differentiating Lesions and Pain Management13:13 - Settling on Bone Biopsy Imaging16:55 - Understanding Pre-Op Imaging from Lesion Characteristics 21:50 - Maintaining Communication Across Specialties24:21 - Which Devices To Select and Navigating Challenges32:28 - Trajectory Paths and Surgical Considerations35:30 - How to Avoid and Mitigate Biopsy Complications41:30 - Wrap Up --- More about this episodeThe conversation begins with a systematic approach to evaluating focal bone lesions, including the likelihood of malignancy, lesion location, number of lesions, and selection of an appropriately sized sampling device. Dr. Thurlow reviews anesthesia and pain-management strategies for both superficial and deeper osseous targets, as well as the respective roles of MRI and CT in procedural planning. For challenging lesions, he explains why needle-guidance technology may be preferable to adjusting gantry tilt and outlines how imaging findings and biopsy strategy should be tailored to lesion type, with particular attention to the difficulties associated with blastic lesions. The doctors also discuss the importance of communication with pathology, surgery, oncology, and other collaborating specialties before proceeding. Dr. Thurlow shares his preferred biopsy devices, considerations for selecting a safe trajectory, and ways to account for potential future surgical approaches. The episode concludes with practical strategies for avoiding complications, minimizing tissue injury, and obtaining an adequate diagnostic sample. --- BackTable Bone & Sports is the go-to podcast for orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine docs, pain specialists, and MSK radiologists.
