Growth arrest and leg-length discrepancy
Pediatric Radiology, 2013Identification of congenital and acquired etiologies causing alignment disorders and leg-length discrepancies (LLD) in children is important for management. Minor differences in the lengths of the lower extremities are considered a normal variation and usually have no clinical significance.

Percutaneous epiphysiodesis for leg length discrepancy
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Part B, 2003This study presents a retrospective evaluation of 57 patients who underwent a percutaneous epiphysiodesis for leg length discrepancy. Of these patients, 68.5% presented with a good result with a final leg length discrepancy of less than 1.5 cm, 14% with a fair result with a discrepancy of between 1.5 and 2 cm, and 17.5% showed a poor result with a leg ...

Pediatric Leg Length Discrepancy
Orthopaedic Nursing, 1999Leg length discrepancies have multiple causes with a number of treatment options available to accomplish a goal of equal or near equal leg lengths at skeletal maturity. The management of a deformity in the lower extremity can be a complex undertaking requiring the skill and expertise of a multidisciplinary health care team.

Leg length discrepancy in the professional dancer
Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 1995Minor leg length discrepancies may not pose much of a problem in the general population, but in the dance population they should not be overlooked as a predisposing factor in overuse syndromes commonly found among dancers. The popular treatment of prescribing lift therapy is often inappropriate in this population as the patient may not wear a shoe ...

Leg-Length Discrepancy and Scoliosis in Marfan Syndrome
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2002Leg-length discrepancy (LLD) greater than 2 cm is rare in the general population and is associated with a lumbar postural scoliosis; it has not been studied in the setting of Marfan syndrome. Thirteen LLDs of 2 cm or more were recorded from a group of 250 Marfan patients visiting a medical genetics clinic for complete care.

A straight-line graph for leg-length discrepancies
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1977A graphic method is presented that facilitates the recording and interpretation of data in cases of leg-length discrepancy. It provides a mechanism for predicting future growth that automatically takes into account the child's growth percentile and the degree of growth inhibition in the short leg.

Skeletal Age Estimation in Leg Length Discrepancy
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1988Sixty hand radiographs of children with known leg length discrepancy were reported independently in a "blind" manner by four radiologists using the Greulich and Pyle Atlas. Significant variation was found. Fifty percent of the children were assigned a skeletal age that differed by more than 1 year between radiologists; 10% varied by more than 2 years ...

Arteriovenous Fistula for Treatment of Discrepancy in Leg Length
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1974Surgical creation of a femoral arteriovenous fistula was used for treatment of anisomelia in twenty-eight patients. Seventeen patients required epiphyseodesis of the long extremity in addition to the fistula. Their discrepancies in length averaged 4.6 centimeters at fistula creation, 5.9 centimeters at epiphyseodesis, 3.6 centimeters at fistula closure,

Infantile Myofibromatosis: A Cause of Leg Length Discrepancy
Pediatric Dermatology, 2002Abstract: An infant with self‐healing, multifocal cutaneous infantile myofibromatosis with leg‐length discrepancy as a sequela is reported. This condition should be suspected in infants with one or more firm or hard nodules in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, bone, muscle, or viscera. The histopathologic picture is diagnostic.
