ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

The angle between the median axes of the forearm and arm is called the carrying angle (CA). Sex differences in CA and its relation to age, height, weight, and BMI are unclear. The aim of the present study was to measure the CA in male and female subjects in the Saudi population and correlate it with the above variables. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

A digital goniometer was used to measure CA in 181 males and 165 females. Information on age, height, weight, and BMI was also recorded.

RESULTS:

CA showed differences based on sex, though was independent of age, height, weight, and BMI. Hormonal factors may influence CA and could explain larger CA values in female subjects.

CONCLUSIONS:

CA measurement in specific population groups contributes to the successful management of several pathological conditions of the elbow and aids in the design of elbow orthotics and prosthetics.
