Connective Tissue Progenitor Analysis of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate Harvested From the Body of the Ilium During Arthroscopic Acetabular Labral Repair

Purpose To evaluate the number and concentration of progenitors of the bone marrow aspirate (BMA) harvest from the body of the ilium in comparison with other established aspiration sites. Methods The inclusion criteria consisted of primary hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral tear. BMA was performed by placing an aspiration needle into the body of ilium just proximal to the sourcil in 33 patients. The BMA was centrifuged and processed in the...
