What is the typical site of a bone marrow biopsy on an adult?
Iliac crest
What part of the body is most commanly used for a bone marrow biopsy?
The most common site for a bone marrow biopsy is the posterior iliac crest, which is the back of the hip bone.
In adults why is bone marrow for biopsy taken from the sternum iliac crest or spinous processes of the vertebrae rather than other sites?
The sternum, iliac crest, and spinous processes are preferred sites for bone marrow biopsy in adults because they provide easy access to the bone marrow without risking damage to major blood vessels or nerves. Additionally, these sites have higher concentrations of hematopoietic (blood-forming) cells, making them ideal for sampling.

What is the superior margin of the hip bone?
It is known as the iliac crest. It is located at the superior (upper) edge of the ilium. In females, the iliac crest is longer, and curves outward (laterally) more so than in males. This is part of the wider structure of the ilium in females, than in males, which accounts for wider hips as a norm.
Can a bone biopsy - to differentiate between Osteoporosis and Osteomalacia - be done in the radius or ulna?
Yes, a bone biopsy can be performed on the radius or ulna to help differentiate between osteoporosis and osteomalacia. However, these sites are less commonly used compared to the iliac crest due to their smaller size and the potential for complications. The choice of biopsy site depends on various factors, including the clinical scenario and the preference of the physician. Ultimately, the iliac crest is typically preferred for its ease of access and the amount of bone tissue available for analysis.
