Abstract: Clinical Relevance: Determining retroversion with computed tomography is more accurate than palpating the epicondylar axis or using the forearm as a goniometer during surgery. Computed tomography is useful for measuring the amount of rotation of humeri with a malunited fracture or severe arthritic deformity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
