Claim 23:
24. A bone biopsy system comprising:
a cutting cannula that comprises a cutting tip positioned at a distalmost end thereof, the cutting tip being configured to cut bone;
a first hub attached to the cutting cannula, the first hub comprising a first connection interface;
an elongated insert;
a second hub attached to the elongated insert, the second hub comprising a driver connector and further comprising a second connection interface configured to cooperate with the first connection interface to rotationally lock the second hub relative to the first hub; and
a manual handle either coupled to or couplable with the first hub so as to be rotationally locked relative to the first hub,
the bone biopsy system being selectively convertible from a power drilling configuration to a manual coring configuration,
wherein, when the bone biopsy system is in the power drilling configuration, the first and second connection interfaces cooperate to rotationally lock the second hub relative to the first hub, the elongated insert extends through a full length of the cutting cannula, and the driver connector is couplable to a powered driver to permit the powered driver to rotate the first hub and the second hub in unison, and
wherein, when the bone biopsy system is in the manual coring configuration, the second hub is decoupled from the first hub and the manual handle is coupled with the first hub such that manual rotation of the manual handle effects simultaneous rotation of the first hub and the cutting cannula.
