Proximal Humerus and Ilium Are Reliable Sources of Bone Marrow Aspirates for Biologic Augmentation During Arthroscopic Surgery

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) derived from concentrated bone marrow aspirates (BMAs) that were processed following arthroscopic harvest from either the proximal humerus or the body of the ilium during biologic augmentation of the rotator cuff and acetabular labral repairs. Methods Between November 2014 and January 2019, BMA was harvested from the proximal humerus (n = 89) and the body...
