Figure 3 Comparison of guide pin placement between the free-hand group and the guide plate group in surgeries. (A) Intraoperative anteroposterior and lateral fluoroscopic images of the elbow joint are used to confirm the position of guide pin in free-hand group. (B) The guide pin is placed under the fluoroscopy of the C-arm during the operation in free-hand group. (C) Intraoperative anteroposterior and lateral fluoroscopic images of the elbow joint are used to confirm the position of guide pin in guide template group. (D) The guide pin is placed under the fluoroscopy of the C-arm during the operation in guide template group.
