Abstract
Digital tomosynthesis with flatpanel detector radiography is a novel application that allows easy swift volume data acquisition of any anatomical site of interest with arbitrary patient posture A single sweep of the Xray tube provides multiple tomographic images of high resolution We present the first patient with olecranon fracture who underwent internal fixation and 1year postoperative followup with tomosynthesis The minimal metallic artifact by this modality successfully provided detailed information regarding the healing process of the fracture
