Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the Baumann angle (BA) as a measure of distal humerus alignment in children, comparing the standard method using a central humeral line to new methods using medial and lateral humeral lines.
- Intraobserver reliability was found to be high across all measurement methods, with BA-MHL showing the best consistency among individual raters.
- The reliability of these measurements improved when at least 7 cm of the humerus was visible in the X-rays, suggesting that the visibility of the bone impacts measurement accuracy.
Background: Angular deformity is the most common complication of supracondylar humerus fracture. Baumann's angle (BA) is an established radiographic measure of coronal plane deformity after this injury. Numerous radiographic methods have been used to assess sagittal plane deformity, however, the mean, variability, and reliability of these measures has not been established.
