Steps to obtain the structural bicortical autologous iliac crest bone. (a) Locate the bony markers of the iliac crest and predict the surgical incision; (b) soft tissues were dissected along the lateral lip of the iliac crest with an electrome; (c) a special sharp narrow chisel was used to harvest a bicortical bone segment; (d) structural bicortical autologous iliac crest bone segment, cancellous bone, and bone harvest tool; (e) surgical incision at the bone-graft donor site; (f) postoperative radiograph of the bone-graft donor site.
