Injury to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (Bernhardt's syndrome) or meralgia paresthetica occurs after harvest of the bone from the anterior iliac crest. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is ...
These characteristics can be used to assess bone formation: after taking oral tetracycline on two occasions (double labeling), an iliac-crest biopsy is obtained. The rate of bone growth equals the ...
This column describes how to obtain a bone marrow sample by way of aspiration from the iliac crest and proximal humerus of the dog and cat for the assessment and diagnosis of bone marrow disease.
This bone marrow was obtained by 5 anterior-iliac-crest aspirations from a normal Type O donor (the patient was Type A). Pertinent laboratory observations are given in Figure 2. The plateau in the ...
