What is the angle to use when harvesting from the ASIS with the OsteoAuger Bone Graft Harvesting System?

The angle to use when harvesting from the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS) with the OsteoAuger Bone Graft Harvesting System is 40 degrees medial from the parasaggital plane. This specific angle is important because it allows for optimal access to the bone while minimizing damage to surrounding soft tissue structures and ensuring effective harvest of bone graft material.

In procedures involving bone graft harvesting, attention to angle is critical to achieve effective results without complications. The medial approach helps align the harvesting tool properly with the anatomical structures, providing a clear pathway to the desired bone without compromising nearby tissues.

When considering the other options, they either place the harvesting angle incorrectly or do not align with best practice strategies for bone graft harvesting from the ASIS. Each improper angle could lead to less effective harvesting, increased risk of complications, or inadequate bone graft quality.
