What condition can IOBP be a minimally invasive procedure used to treat?

IOBP, or Intraosseous Biopsy Procedure, is a technique that can be utilized to address Bone Marrow Lesions (BML). This minimally invasive procedure allows healthcare professionals to obtain samples from the specific area of concern within the bone marrow, which can help in diagnosing and managing conditions that involve the bone and its surrounding tissues.

BMLs are often associated with various pathologies and are commonly detected through imaging studies for joint-related issues. Using IOBP to treat BMLs provides a targeted approach, enabling precise interventions while minimizing patient recovery time and complications that may accompany more invasive surgical options.

In contrast, meniscus tears, ligament sprains, and tendinitis typically require different treatment modalities that may involve physical therapy, surgical repair, or other non-invasive measures rather than a biopsy-focused procedure like IOBP.
