Cover Story: Osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow (OCD) is a rare intra-articular osteochondral lesion that is associated with overhead throwing sports. At present, no single imaging modality can adequately predict lesion severity, and therefore, surgery is the only means of conclusively confirming the severity of OCD lesions. To address this difficulty, we developed a method to create 3D MRI-CT fusion images (MCFIs) of OCD lesions. This computer-aided technique combines the advantages of CT and MRI and provides a minimally invasive, accurate preoperative evaluation of OCD lesions. In addition, detailed surgical simulation is possible, which could aid surgeons in intraoperative decision making. In this article, we introduce the use and clinical applicability of MCFIs as a method of OCD lesion evaluation and surgical simulation for OCD lesions. View this paper.
