    • Approach
      • do not expose neurovascular structures
        • all tissue exposed during the biopsy is considered contaminated with tumor
      • maintain meticulous hemostasis
        • post-operative hematomas are considered contaminated with tumor
        • release tourniquet prior to wound closure
    • Biopsy
      • perform through the involved compartment of the tumor
      • for bone lesions with a soft tissue mass, it is ok to perform the biopsy using the soft tissue mass
    • Closure
