The correlation between intra-operative 2D- and 3D fluoroscopy with postoperative CT-scans in the treatment of calcaneal fractures

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of the intra-operative fluoroscopic 2D- and 3D-images compared with a postoperative CT-scan, in terms of quality of reduction and fixation of calcaneal fractures. Methods Patients requiring open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a calcaneal fracture were recruited as part of the EF3X-trial. During surgery, intra-operative images of fluoroscopic 2D- and 3D-imaging were...
