The use of intraoperative 3D fluoroscopy in the treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures prolongs the operative procedures without improving the quality of reduction and fixation. There was no benefit of intraoperative 3D fluoroscopy with regard to postoperative complications, quality of life, functional outcome, or posttraumatic osteoarthritis.Level of Evidence: Level I, prospective randomized controlled study.
