- Abstract: The anatomical quadrilateral surface buttress plate developed for the quadrilateral surface in an acetabular fracture, a type of fracture difficult to reduce using screws and plates due to its thinness, is a useful implant that makes surgical treatment easier. However, the anatomical structure is different for each patient, and it often does not match the contour of this plate, making detailed bending difficult. Here, we introduce a simple method for controlling the degree of reduction using this plate.
