[Endoscopic Approach to the Quadrilateral Plate (EAQUAL): a New Endoscopic Approach for Plate Osteosynthesis of the Pelvic Ring and Acetabulum - a Cadaver Study].

CONCLUSION: The completely endoscopic preparation of the pelvic brim and the quadrilateral plate is feasible with available standard laparoscopic instruments. Moreover, plate osteosynthesis could be performed endoscopically. Further research on reduction techniques is necessary when planning to implement this technique into a clinical scenario.
