A method for verifying the position of at least two bone structures relative to each other, comprising the method steps of: recording a three-dimensional dataset which represents the bone structures segmenting the three-dimensional dataset into segments, wherein each segment represents a bone structure and the segments exhibit a known relative position in the three-dimensional dataset changing the virtual relative position of the segments, such that the virtual relative position of the segments matches the actual relative position of the bone structures and verifying whether the virtual relative position of the segments matches a target position of the bone structures.
