Use of bone marrow obtained from the pelvis in various orthopedic procedures has been well documented. Less is known regarding bone marrow harvested from the proximal humerus and distal femur. This study has incorporated a method in which bone marrow is harvested at the time of surgery without an increase in surgical procedures. These samples are analyzed in our laboratory to determine if these sites are potential sources of adult stem cells.
