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
