title: Method for transilial bone biopsy in baboons.
abstract: A surgical method for obtaining transilial bone biopsy specimens in baboons that provides adequate amounts of trabecular and cortical bone for histomorphometric analysis was developed. Biopsy specimens were removed from a site on the craniodorsal portion of the ilium by use of an 8-mm trephine.
