Does it really matter what the angle is, as long as it is the correct one for your body?  I looked at my X-ray and the Operative Report, which states that the inclination angle was measured at 34 degrees.  This seems low compared with previous comments but I trust Dr. Gross so I assume this is the angle I was supposed to have!
