    • Cubitus Valgus Treatment



    E The elbow Joint is a synovial hinge joint that connects the upper arm and forearm allowing movement of the hand towards and away from the body which is essential for our daily life activities. The excessive carrying angle of the elbow is scientifically known as Cubitus valgus.
    In Defence forces firing a target is one of the important requirements and due to improper carrying angle of the elbow, there may be some difficulties in aiming the target by the individual suffering from the abnormality. Individuals with improper carrying angle of the elbow face problem of their hands colliding with their hips making it difficult to carry a load.
    If the angle between the forearm and hand is decreased then it is known as Gunstock Deformity.
    Carrying Angle Limits
    With your arms held out at the sides and palms facing forward then the angle between your hand and forearm must be within the following limits away from the body.
    Male – Not More than 15 degree
    Female – Not More than 18 degree
    Causes
    Excessive Carrying Angle of the Elbow may be caused due to developmental abnormalities, trauma or adaptive changes to repetitive stress. Mostly it is caused due to ineffectual alignment/ hypomobility of the 3 bones (radius, humerus, and ulna).
    Effects
    Excessive Carrying angle puts more stress on the elbow structures making them more susceptible to traction injuries. It also causes a problem with walking and carrying a load.
    Treatments
    There are Physical Therapy and Yoga exercises to reduce the carrying angle and Surgery is another option. We have Treatment available for Cubitus Valgus/Varum without any Surgery.
