The trephining of bone from the iliac crest: an anterior approach.
A quick and simple method of trephining moderate amounts of cancellous bone (up to 6 cc) from the iliac crest via an anterior approach is presented. The advantages of this technique are that no muscle or ligamentous attachments are disturbed and postsurgical morbidity is low.
