Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The carrying angle, also known as cubitus valgus, is the term used to describe the lateral deviation of the ulna in relation to the humerus in the frontal plane. This angle is typically present in the standing position and is greater in females than males, approximately 10-15 degrees for females and 5-10 degrees for males. Option A, angle of inclination refers to the deviation of the femoral neck from the shaft in the sagittal plane. Option B, torsion angle is the angle between the transverse plane and the longitudinal axis of a bone, and is commonly used to describe the torsion of the femur or tibia. Option D, Q-angle, is the angle formed by a line drawn from the anterior superior iliac spine to the center of the patella and a line drawn from the center of the patella to the tibial tuberosity. It is used to assess patellar tracking and alignment.
