By use of a percutaneous trephine, a relatively large (7.5-mm diameter), full-thickness bone sample can be obtained from the iliac crest under local anesthesia. Such a specimen can be used for histologic evaluation as well as small-volume, bone-grafting procedures. Patient acceptance has been excellent.
