Hi there

Thanks for the query

Usually females have a large carrying angle such is in valgus.

I would be able to help you if you could post her Xray of the elbow for my review.

Usually trauma can be a cause of valgus deformity. was there any?

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Brief Answer:
Not gross change

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting the photos.

The elbows do not look grossly in excess valgus.

It would be helpful to get an Xray to confirm any changes to the bones and growing centre.
