Internal rotation angle measurement of the elbow with 3D reformatted CT image

The examination of internal rotation angle at the elbow is difficult on conventional radiographs. The angle of internal rotation has been measured with three dimensional reformatted CT image of GE CT/T9800. The angle of internal rotation with the cubitus varus deformity was measured both preoperatively and postoperatively. Postoperatively the angle of internal rotation became equal on both sides. Three dimensional CT reconstruction is useful in determining the internal rotation angle of elbow.
