Michael Gallizzi, MD (Denver, CO), demonstrates the use of the Vortex™ threaded bone marrow recovery needle to aspirate marrow from a vertebral body using a percutaneous approach. Dr. Gallizzi reviews surgical preparation and approach, proper aspiration technique, and needle insertion and removal. The unique threaded tip and vent holes in the Vortex needle allow the surgeon to control the depth and direction of aspiration.
