“…There was a significant correlation between LE and the dominant side in this study. This result was also consistent with our hypothesis, as it is well established that the carrying angle is greater on the dominant side [19,20].…”

The goal of this study was to ascertain the effect of increased elbow carrying angle (ECA) in lateral epicondylitis (LE) development. Materials and methodsThis retrospective study involved a total of 62 participants between January and December 2021, of whom 29 were diagnosed with LE. Physical examinations and elbow radiographs of the patients were reviewed retrospectively. ECAs were measured with the elbow fully extended and the forearm fully supinated on anteroposterior elbow radiographs. Two experienced orthopedic surgeons separately evaluated the values on the radiograph. ResultsThis study involved 62 individuals, of which 55.4% are female and 44.6% are male. The mean age of the patients was 45.45 ± 4.77 years (range, 40-69 years), and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.1 ± 3.8 kg/m 2 (range, 19-34 kg/m 2 ). There were significant differences in elbow carrying angle between the LE group and the control group (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant correlation between the LE side and the dominant side (p < 0.05). ConclusionIncreased ECA is associated with increased incidence of LE and may contribute to its etiology by elevating extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon tension and rerouting it, resulting in increased abrasive and pressurizing forces.

“…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).…”

“…The result of present study is consistent with some studies. 11,18,19 Difference between right and left carrying angle is due to ligamentous laxity at medial elbow and asymmetrical bony growth and Greater angle in dominant arm may be due to imposed stress over the dominant limb, bony remodeling to adapt to that stress and more development of muscles. 20 But the finding of other is contraindicatory to present study findings.…”

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.

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.
