Correlation between Bauman's and carrying angle in children with supracondylar fracture of humerus.

Unlabelled: Supracondylar fractures are the result of a fall on outstretched hand in more than 70% of cases, and more common in the non-dominant arm.

Carrying angle is the clinical parameter ofvarus-valgus angulation with elbow fully extended and forearm completely supinated.
