Does it matter where your bone marrow is harvested from?

New Research confirms Pelvis PSIS is the best source.
A new study highlights pelvis PSIS as the optimal harvest site for bone marrow concentrate procedures. New research from our colleagues, Anz et al compared the cell yields of removing bone marrow from a patient’s pelvis vs their humerus (upper arm bone) during a traditional rotator cuff repair. To no surprise, the pelvis or PSIS region showed a 3x greater cell yield and >8x greater proliferative product.
Patients receiving BMC much like other cell therapies including PRP should make sure they are receiving best practices from a well-trained clinician integrating the latest clinical research. If getting bone marrow for an orthopedic procedure, make sure it’s being taken from the Hip PSIS!
