Figure 1 CT scans and 3D reconstruction of the humerus. (A–C) Preoperative CT scans: Anteroposterior (A), sagittal (B), and transverse (C) CT images of the elbow joint, which were used for reconstruction of the 3D model. (D) 3D Reconstruction: 3D reconstruction images of the humeral portion based on the CT scan data using Mimics Medical 16.0 software (Materialise, Belgium). The 3D model was used to design the pin guide template.
