摘要
To determine the effects of limb positioning on Baumann's angle, we made a controlled radiographic study of a 6-year-old cadaver upper extremity specimen. Radiographic measurement of Baumann's angle was obtained at 10-degrees increments of humeral rotation from 40-degrees of internal rotation to 40-degrees of external rotation. These measurements were obtained with the humerus parallel to the x-ray cassette and with the humerus flexed 30-degrees from the cassette. Measurement of Baumann's angle with radiographs obtained with the humerus parallel to the x-ray cassette was associated with less variation in the measured angle (6-degrees of change for every 10-degrees of rotation). The relevance of these findings in management of supracondylar fractures is discussed.
