Radiological study of carrying angle among male and female and its clinical importance
: The long axes of the ulna and humerus form an acute angle when the upper limb is in its anatomical position and the elbow is fully extended is known as the carrying angle. It is typically larger in females than in males Anthropologists use the carrying angle to predict a person's sex; orthopaedic surgeons use it to surgically treat a variety of elbow disorders; and total elbow prosthetics. The study aimed to assess the carrying angle in an attempt to determine its value in both sexes, proposing a simple and reliable method for measuring it.The elbow radiographs taken in the normal anteroposterior and lateral views were assessed independently and uniformly by anatomists. A total of 70 adult radiographs between the ages of 18 to 76 years, 35 males and 35 females were gathered. To measure the angle, two lines were drawn: one along the mid-axis of the upper limb of the forearm, passing between the radius and ulna through the superior radioulnar joint, and the other along the mid-axis of the lower third of the humerus, where the angle is measured.The carrying angle is statistically more significant in females than in males among 70 radiographs. The p-value was 0.000 and the mean and SD for males were 14.3±2.740, while the mean and SD for females were 21.92±3.170.The current study concludes that there is a significant gender difference between females and males; carrying angle influences secondary sexual characteristics.
