Notes to answerer
Asker: thanks, found references to "distaler Gelenkflächenwinkel", now just need to come up with something pithy

Asker: "distal joint angle" gets enough googles to fit the bill here

agree  Steffen Walter: "distal joint angle" sounds plausible.

(local) kyphosis angle, Cobb's angle


Explanation:
If it is the spine and not the shoulder, I would suggest that DGW is the same as "GDW" (after all, you can look upon an angle from one side as well as from the other).

For definitions of these angles, see the English reference http://www.rcsed.ac.uk/fellows/lvanrensburg/classification/s... and the German reference, http://deposit.ddb.de/cgi-bin/dokserv?idn=984175881&dok_var=...
