Accuracy in identifying the elbow rotation axis on simulated fluoroscopic images using a new anatomical landmark

Accuracy in identifying the elbow rotation axis on simulated fluoroscopic images using a new anatomical landmark

Abstract External fixation of the elbow requires identification of the elbow rotation axis, but the accuracy of traditional landmarks (capitellum and trochlea) on fluoroscopy is limited. The relative distance (RD) of the humerus may be helpful as additional landmark. The first aim of this study was...
