Sexual Dimorphism of Degree of Carrying Angle in South Indian Population
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
68 males and 82 females of adult aged between 20- 35 were selected for study.Their degrees of carryin angle were measured by Goniometer. The mean value of left carrying angle in males was 163.6 (SD±6.1) and females was 164.9 (SD ± 3.6 ) and ‘t’ test value was 8.59 which was highly significant statistically (p < 0.01 ).The mean value of right carrying angle in males was 169.8 (SD±4.4 ) and in females 171.2 (SD± 3.4) ‘t’ test value was 8.69 which has highly significant p value (p <0.01 ). This study is very much important to orthopaedic surgeons to reconstruct the elbow joint during traumatic condition, radiologists to compare the normal degrees with fractured elbow joint. Moreover to the medico legal experts to differentiate the sex, to the Anatomists and anthropologists. These subjects belong to south Indian population, hence represent ethnic importance.
