iliac crest biopsy

'Beckenkamm' is iliac crest (crest of the ilium in the pelvis), 'trepanat' is literally 'trepanation', which would normally be used in English for the skull, but not the iliac crest - so here I would use 'biopsy'.

"The iliac crest is one of the major sites of biopsy bone. This site is easily accessible, and bone alterations in the iliac crest often reflect changes in other regions, such as the spine or long tubular bones."
