title: [Removal of the iliac crest bone].
abstract: The paper covers diagnoses indicating removal of bone from the iliac crest, positioning, an approach to the iliac crest, and techniques for removing bone. The hazards incident to the removal of spongiosa, cortical substance, or spongeous-cortical bone chips are described. Haemorrhages from the spongiosa must be staunched carefully with wax plugs or fibrin glue (Tissucol1). Complications such as perforation, hernia, hyperaesthesia, muscular atrophy, and changes in contour are discussed, as well as suitable measures to avoid complications.
