Excerpt

Over the past few decades, there has been a wealth of literature describing compartmental anatomy of the extremities, teaching that percutaneous biopsies for suspected malignant neoplasia must respect these boundaries and never cross from one compartment into a second [1‐6]. This grew out of the concern for seeding the biopsy tract during tissue sampling, deducing that should seeding occur and lead to local recurrence, it would be confined to the original anatomical compartment or biopsy tract and thus more amenable to re-excision. …
