How Much Iliac Crest Reduction Can Be Done?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Good morning/afternoon, my question is do you perform hip bone shaving and if yes how much can you remove in one procedure in grams or kilograms?
A: In my experience with iliac crest reduction it is done in a linear amount not by weight. In most cases 1.0 to 1.5cms of bone removal is performed in the more prominent anterior half of the iliac crest.
