Abstract
Variation of histomorphometric data in a bone [human] biopsy cylinder of the iliac crest was determined in order to derive a rule of the sampling procedure in such a biopsy specimen. Measurements in different cylinders of a biopsy zone in the right and the left iliac crest were obtained in order to determine magnitude of change necessary for recognition of therapeutic or spontaneous alterations performing sequential biopsies.
