Alveolar cancellous bone biopsy samples were extracted during dental implant preparation for investigating microstructural changes due to menopause and relationships between these changes and bone turnover markers.
Bone biopsy samples become widely used to monitor the effects on trabecular architecture and mineralization in clinical studies during the treatment of bone diseases.

Furthermore, bone biopsy samples provide the possibility to study the lamellar structure, the mineral content, the elastic properties, the organic matrix (eg, collagen cross-linking) and the structural characteristics (arrangement, shape, size and orientation distribution of the hydroxyapatite particles in the organic matrix) of the nanocomposite material.

We are grateful to all the volunteers for participating in the study and to the theatre staff of Freeman Hospital and Newcastle General Hospital for their help in collecting the bone biopsy samples.
Remaining isolates were from bone biopsy samples (4%), pleural fluid (2%), pleural biopsy samples (2%), and stool samples (2%).
Interestingly, one study found a higher rate of CoNS in the percutaneous bone biopsy samples than in the swab samples (25.6 % vs. 4.6 %; p < 0.001) [ 2].
Of note, speculation about contamination of bone biopsy samples from skin seems to be inconsistent after standard antiseptic procedures in the operation field.
