Aus Dornheim Anatomy
The humerus is torqued at its proximal end, i.e. the caput is twisted about 20° backwards from the axis by the epicondyli humeri (torsion). Between the longitudinal axis of the humerus and the caput there is an average angle of 130°, while at the distal end, between the transverse joint axis and the longitudinal axis of the humerus shaft, there is an angle of 76° to 89°.
