The purpose of this study was to establish the diagnostic utility and spectrum of fluoroscopy guided percutaneous transpedicular biopsies of the thoraco-lumbar spine performed at our institution and to review some aspects regarding the diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis (TB). A retrospective study was performed on a consecutive series of 48 patients who underwent fluoroscopy guided percutaneous transpedicular biopsies of the spine performed at our institution. Biopsy specimens were sent for microscopy, culture and sensitivity (MC&S) as well as for TB microscopy, culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and for histology.Aim
