Biologically augmented surgical treatments of orthopaedic conditions are increasingly popular. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate is a key orthobiologic tissue source, and the field is moving from the standard iliac crest marrow aspiration toward local aspirations of marrow depots that are accessible during the standard-of-care procedures in an attempt to reduce morbidity, surgery time, and cost. Here, we present the aspiration of the standard iliac marrow depot, but through a novel acetabular approach during total hip arthroplasty. This procedure markedly simplifies biologic augmentation with bone marrow aspirate concentrate in this large patient cohort.
