Amit Kumar Srivastava, Sohel Solanki

Abstract: The Carrying Angle of the elbow is defined as the angle between the long axis of the extended forearm as it lies lateral to the long axis of the arm. It may change with skeletal growth. Clinically carrying angle increases with age up to 15 years, after which there was a slight decrease in the angles.
