Effectiveness of gluteal control training in chronic low back pain patients with functional leg length inequality [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder and is often accompanied by functional leg length inequality (FLLI). However, little was known about the effects of gluteal muscle control training in patients with LBP and FLLI. This study

Severe Pelvic Obliquity Affects Femoral Offset in Patients with Total Hip Arthroplasty but Not Leg-Length Inequality. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Leg-length inequality is an extensively studied complication of total hip arthroplasty in normal patients. However, few studies have focused on the pelvic obliquity of coronal pelvic malrotation.

Utilizing Three-Dimensional Head-Lesser Trochanter Distance Could Further Reduce Leg Length Inequality in Primary Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty. [PDF]

J Clin Med, 2022
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of three-dimensional (3-D) computed tomography (CT)-based head-lesser trochanter distance (HLD) could reduce leg length discrepancy (LLD) more than the use of a two-dimensional (2-D ...

Brief Report: Leg Length Inequality and Hip Osteoarthritis in the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study and the Osteoarthritis Initiative. [PDF]

Arthritis Rheumatol, 2018
Objective Studies suggest that persons with a 2 cm shorter limb have an increased risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in that limb. We examined whether leg length inequality (LLI) confers an increased risk of hip OA. Methods Using long limb radiographs from

Total hip arthroplasty: leg length inequality impairs functional outcomes and patient satisfaction [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2012
Background Leg length inequality (LLI) was identified as a problem of total hip arthroplasty soon after its introduction. Leg lengthening is the most common form of LLI.
