INTRODUCTION: Intramedullary preparation and endoscopy of long bone is not mentioned in literature. We present our first results of experimental intramedullary endoscopy of long bone.METHODS: Experimental tests were performed at 4 corpse bones (twice tibia, twice femur).RESULTS: Intramedullary endoscopy and preparation was possible in all cases. A good view for inspection of the medullary canal was achieved by using the endoscope (Wolf GmbH, Germany).CONCLUSION: Endoscopic preparation and intramedullary endoscopy in the long bone ist possible. By using the endoscopic tools, a "neocavum" for endoscopic manipulation could easily be created.
