• This study directly tested a common HO prophylaxis regimen in acetabular fracture surgery and found no statistically significant benefit, despite a numerical trend toward smaller HO volume on CT. • It highlights the limitations of relying on plain radiographic Brooker grading alone, since CT volumetric data can tell a somewhat different story than plain films — useful when interpreting HO literature. • The finding that male gender was associated with greater HO volume is a reminder that patient factors, not just prophylaxis, influence risk and should temper expectations of any single intervention.
