Hello Practo User, Based on the history you gave,there is infection in your sacroiliac joint. Yes ,..a biopsy and histopathological examination and culture and sensitivity of organism found, has to be done. Without biopsy the correct diagnosis cannot be made.

If your Orthopaedic doctor has advised biopsy , please go ahead and get it done.
