• We developed a novel method to create three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging-computed tomography (3D MRI-CT) fusion images for the evaluation of capitellar osteochondritis dissecans. • 3D MRI-CT fusion images enabled the accurate prediction of lesions and provided a detailed evaluation of lesion severity by presenting the exact positional relationship between the articular cartilage and subchondral bone.
