angulation
Degree of bend
Angulation is the formation of angles or the measurement of angles in a structure.
In medicine, it describes the degree to which a bone or joint deviates from its normal alignment: The X-ray showed significant angulation at the fracture site.
The term appears in technical contexts—photography, dentistry, surveying—wherever precise angles matter.
