Popis: Abstract Background Three-dimensional preoperative planning has been applied to the osteosynthesis of distal humerus fractures. The present study investigated the correlations between 3D preoperative planning and postoperative reduction for the osteosynthesis of distal humerus fractures using 3D parameters. Methods Twenty-three elbows of 23 distal humerus fracture patients who underwent osteosynthesis with three-dimensional preoperative planning were evaluated. 3D images of the distal humerus were created after taking preoperative CT scans of the injured elbow. Fracture reduction, implant selection, and placement simulations were performed based on 3D images. Postoperative CT images were taken 1 month after surgery. Correlations were evaluated with preoperative plans and postoperative 3D images. The longitudinal axis and coordinates of the humerus were defined on the 3D images. The coronal angle (CA) was defined as the angle formed by the long axis and the line connecting the medial and lateral margins of the trochlea of the humerus on a coronal plane image. The sagittal angle (SA) was defined as the angle formed by the long axis and the line connecting the top of the lateral epicondyle and the center of the humeral capitellum on a sagittal plane image. The axial angle (AA) was defined as the angle between the sagittal plane and the line connecting the medial and lateral margins behind the trochlea of the humerus. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) of each measurement value were assessed between preoperative planning and postoperative images. Results Preoperative planning and postoperative measurement values were CA: 85.6 ± 5.9°/85.8 ± 5.9°, SA: 140.9 ± 8.5°/139.4 ± 7.9°, and AA: 84.0 ± 3.1°/82.6 ± 4.9°, respectively. ICCs were CA: 0.75 (P
