Important Orthopedic Angles
• Calcaneum Fracture:
- Bohler's Angle
- Gissane's Angle
• Cobb’s angle (Scoliosis)
• Distal End Radius Fracture
1- Radial height 11mm (10-26)
2- Radial incline = 22º (12-28)
3- DRUJ space ≤ 4mm
4- Ulnar variance ±5mm
5- Volar tilt = 11º (3-16)
6- Step <2mm
7- Gap <2mm
• Supracondylar Fracture:
- Baumann's Angle
- Carrying Angle (Norm: 5-15º, Excessive = cubitus valgus, Decrease = gunstock deformity)
• Q angle: Increased in genu valgum, external tibia torsion, lateral positioned tibial tuberosity, tight lateral retinaculum
- Norm: male= 14º±3, females= 17º±3
