From: Humerus trochlear angle (HTa)—a possible alternative for Baumann angle in the reduction of supracondylar humerus fractures

Fig. 1

The humerus trochlea angle (HTa) was defined by the intersection of the axis of humeral shaft and the tangent to the curve surface of trochlea: for example, on the contralateral side of a patient in HTa group, the HTa (red) was 85° (a, c); on the injured side, the HTa (blue) was 93° (b, d); after reduction with arthrogram, the HTa (black) was restored to 87° (e). Three-dimensional models in (c) and (d) were provided from DICOM by an open source medical image viewer (Horos V 3.3.5., Swiss); all angle measures were performed by RulerSwift (Mac OS X free soft)
