Abstract

As fraturas supracondilianas do úmero ocorrem com frequência na população pediátrica, sendo ocasionadas por traumas direto ou indireto de baixa energia como quedas ao solo. Diante de uma fratura supracondiliana a medida do ângulo de Baumann se faz necessária para a avaliação do segmento distal do úmero no plano frontal. Esta medida representa um importante parâmetro para a avaliação antes e após a conduta traumato-ortopédica, pois além de se tratar de uma urgência, observa-se que existem complicações como o surgimento de deformidades angulares do cotovelo, que podem trazer importantes limitações funcionais e estéticas no futuro dessas crianças.
