Objective: To find the gender and dominant handedness difference in the carrying angle of adolescent males and females of eastern population of Nepal. Methods: The carrying angle was measured by a goniometer in 100 healthy subjects without any anomaly, pathology or asymmetry in shoulder, elbow or wrist (50 males and 50 females) by extending, supinating and fixing each forearm and placing the fixed arm of the goniometer on the central longitudinal axis of the upper arm and the adjustable arm of the goniometer on the central longitudinal axis of the lower arm. The means were evaluated using the Student t-test where p __ampersandsignlt; 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The mean carrying angle of males on the dominant upper limb was 11.72__ampersandsignplusmn;1.37 and the non-dominant upper limb was 10.02__ampersandsignplusmn;1.5 and the mean carrying angle of females on the dominant upper limb was 13.7__ampersandsignplusmn;2.09 and the non-dominant upper limb was 11.74__ampersandsignplusmn;2.03. The carrying angle was significant greater in females (p __ampersandsignlt; 0.00001) and in the dominant arm in both sexes (p __ampersandsignlt; 0.00001). Conclusions: Our observation of carrying angle can be used to assess traumatic elbow injuries and as an adjunct to identification of skeletal remains in forensic practice in this population.
