a, b Pre-operative computed tomography showing a complex elbow injury with a flake fracture (2x3cm, red arrow) of the capitellum and a radial head fracture type II according to Mason with a step of >2 mm in the joint surface (yellow arrow). c Intraoperative 2D fluoroscopy images after open reduction and fracture fixation with screws. d, e The fracture reduction of the capitellum could not be visualized intraoperatively. The intraoperative sagittal and coronal multi-planar-reconstructions of the 3D scan confirmed anatomical reduction of the capitellum (red arrow) as well as the radial head fracture (yellow arrow)
