a Pre-operative computed tomography showing a radial head fracture type II (Mason). b Intraoperative 2D fluoroscopy images after open reduction and fracture fixation with screws showing anatomic reduction. c Postoperative computed tomography revealed a remaining step in the joint surface. Both screws were placed into the fracture line, which was not seen on conventional 2D fluoroscopy. d During an index operation, the screws were replaced after open reduction. e Intraoperative 3D imaging confirmed the anatomical reduction and correct screw positioning in the coronal multi-planar-reconstructions. f Intraoperative 3D imaging confirmed the anatomical fracture reduction (red arrow) and correct screw positioning und length (yellow arrow) in the axial multi-planar-reconstructions
