Being a proven method in trauma and spine surgery, intraoperative 3D imaging (CBCT) has intrinsic deficits in difficult anatomy and with artifacts because of metal implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) in acetabular surgery. ⋯ iCT provides images of a reliable high quality and assessability. Radiation exposure to the staff is reduced while surgery time is not altered significantly. Quality of intraoperative imaging and thus patient care can substantially improve patient outcome.
