Clinical Trial Summary

The carrying angle in the elbow in children is very important.Most of the results of treatment in fracture around the elbow have to measure the carrying angle.The common deformity of the elbow from cubitus varus is the change of the carrying of the elbow.There are many researches studied in normal value of the carrying angle but few had study the carrying angle from birth to adolescent.This study want to compare the carrying angle in different age and gain the knowledge of development of the carrying angle in children

Description:

The study is to measure the carrying angle of the children from birth to adolescents
