Prospective reliability study comparing 2D CT (plus plain radiographs) versus 2D + 3D CT reconstruction in the classification and treatment planning of 30 intra-articular distal humeral fractures, assessed by 5 independent observers using the AO/ASIF and Mehne and Matta systems.
When planning surgery for a complex distal humeral fracture, 3D CT helps you stay consistent in your own preoperative assessment and anticipate key features like coronal plane fracture lines or articular comminution — but don't expect it to resolve disagreement with colleagues, whose interpretations will still vary based on experience.
