“…The finding of present study is similar to finding of some other studies. 10,18 This increased carrying angle in female may be due to hormonal influences and increased joint laxity in female permitting greater degree of extension and smaller olecranon-coronoid angle or more projection of olecranon process of female is the cause of greater carrying angle in female. 10,8 In another study the mean carrying angle among male population in right hand and left hand was Difference between mean carrying angle value between dominant arm and nondominant arm was very highly significant (p<0.001).…”

Background: Elbow carrying angle changes with skeletal growth and maturity, helps in carrying objects and keeps upper limb away from pelvis during movement. Variation of carrying angle value has been observed in relation to age, gender, and some selected anthropometric parameters. Present study was aimed to evaluate the carrying angle in normal adolescents of Bangladesh in relation to age, gender, and hand dominance. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Chittagong Medical College, Chattogram, upon 100 male and 100 female adolescents (10-19 years) by dividing them into two groups (Group A: 10-15 years, Group B: 16-19 years) and all were right hand dominant. Recorded data were analyzed by using SPSS version 25. For statistical analysis unpaired student’s ‘t’ test was done. p value was considered significant if it was <0.05 at 95% level of confidence. Results: Carrying angle of both sides was significantly higher in age group 16 to 19 years and in female (p<0.001) also significant greater value found in dominant hand (p<0.001). Conclusion: Knowledge of normal carrying angle value is important for management of elbow fracture, designing of total elbow prosthesis, and differentiation of sex in skeletal remain in medicolegal purpose.

“…6 Carrying angle value varies with age, sex, arm length, forearm length, Height, BMI, hip circumference and waist circumference. [8][9][10][11][12][13] Carrying angle may also vary with race and ethnicity and between normal person and athlets. [14][15] to June 2020.…”

Background and aims: Evaluating the carrying angle and other anthropological features is important in determining elbow deformities. This study evaluated the carrying angle and various skeletal elements in normal Iranian adults. Methods: The present study includes the elbow radiographs of 253 adolescents (87 women and 166 men). The carrying angle, articular surface angle, radial neck-shaft angle, and inter-epicondylar diameter have been measured. Then, a statistical analysis was conducted by gender and side for each measure. Spearman’s or Pearson’s correlations were used to detect the correlation between means. Results: The mean carrying angle, radial neck-shaft angle, articular surface angle, and inter-epicondylar diameter were 19.72±7.68° , 11.21±4.45° , 85.19±7.62° , and 85.80±66.47 (mm) respectively. Statistically significant differences were not found between the left and right sides in all parameters for both males and females. However, significant differences were found between genders in inter-epicondylar diameter (P=0.0001). Further, a significant negative correlation was found between the carrying and articular surface angles in males (r=-0.29) and females (r=-0.33). However, there was no significant correlation between the carrying angle and radial neck-shaft angle or inter-epicondylar diameter. Conclusion: The present study showed the mean value of carrying angle, radial neck-shaft angle, articular surface angle, and inter-epicondylar diameter in Iranian people. The result of this study might be useful in the management of elbow disorders such as fractures and displacement as well as elbow reconstruction surgery procedures.
