Where are the common places on your body to get a donor piece for your bone graft?

Many places: The iliac crest remains the most frequently used site for bone-graft harvest, but the proximal part of the tibia, distal end of the radius, distal aspect of the tibia, and greater trochanter are alternative donor sites that are particularly useful for bone-grafting in the ipsilateral extremity.

Chin, back of ramus: Many sites can be a donor sites. I first look for tori. If tori is not present, the back of the ramus is the next place (behind the 3rd molar area), then the chin, then the hip. Usually i will try the bmps prior to go for the chin and the hip, since bmp eliminates the donor site and heal likes using patient own bone (autogenous bone graft).
