Abstract

Bone marrow aspirate from the iliac crest contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and growth factors that can be used to stimulate bone regeneration. The marrow has been estimated to contain 1/50,000 nucleated stem cells in younger adults and 1/1,000,000 in the elderly. Both anterior and posterior iliac crests can be used for bone marrow aspiration. In this chapter, we will describe the aspiration technique from the anterior iliac crest.
