Abstract
The objectives of this study are to describe the anatomic findings relative to anterior pelvic endoscopy, determine the potential use of endoscopy for reduction and fixation of fractures of the anterior pelvic ring, and report two illustrative cases performed using this method. Using the windows described, endoscopy permits placement of plates and screws on top of the symphysis pubis, reduction of internally displaced fragments, and performance of percutaneous procedures that do not harm anatomic structures.
