Robotic Arm–Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty to Correct Leg Length Discrepancy in a Patient With Spinopelvic Obliquity

Arthroplasty Today, 2020
Leg length discrepancy is not an uncommon result of total hip arthroplasty and a major cause of patient dissatisfaction. Spinopelvic obliquity is a less-recognized cause of limb length differences in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

Inequality in leg length is important for the understanding of the pathophysiology of lumbar disc herniation

Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2016
Objective: Inequality in leg length may lead to to abnormal transmission of load across the endplates and degeneration lumbar spine and the disc space. There has been no study focusing on lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and leg length discrepancy.

Forgotten joint score is worse when the affected leg perceived longer than shorter after total hip arthroplasty

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background One of the causes of patient dissatisfaction after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is leg length discrepancy (LLD). Even when radiographic LLD (R-LLD) is within 5 mm, some people perceive the affected side to be longer, while others perceive it ...
