Validity of compressive leg checking in measuring artificial leg-length inequality

Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2003
To determine the accuracy of instrumented prone compressive leg checking.Repeated measures (n = 26) on single subjects (n = 3).Chiropractic college research clinic.A pair of surgical boots were modified to permit continuous measurement of leg-length inequality (LLI).

Management of Congenital Leg Length Inequality

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B, 1995
The principles of treatment of congenital leg length inequality include three strategies: joint stabilization, axis correction, and limb length equalization. We believe that early axis correction is important for normal musculoskeletal development and that residual deformity may be self-perpetuating.

Rheumatic disease aspects of leg length inequality

Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1988
Inequality of leg lengths is associated with low back pain, greater trochanteric bursitis, and degenerative hip disease. The pelvic obliquity that results from a discrepancy of leg lengths may contribute to degenerative changes in the lumbar spine. The diagnosis of leg length inequality may be overlooked.

[Leg-lengthening for length inequality].

Harefuah, 1997
32 patients (age range 1.5-22 years) were treated for leg-length discrepancy. 39 lengthening procedures were performed of which 36 involved gradual distraction, in 2 cases chondrodiasthesis was used, and 1 had 1-step elongation. Gradual distraction was done according to Ilizarov, including corticotomy and a 1-week delay before the initiation of ...

Management of leg length inequality.

Journal of the Southern Orthopaedic Association, 2002
Leg length inequality is common. Treatment objectives include obtaining leg length equality, producing a level pelvis, and improving function. Clinical assessment should include determination of a level pelvis with the patient standing using a set of blocks of various heights to estimate the amount of leg length inequality.

Leg length inequality.

Journal of manipulative and physiological therapeutics, 1993
The (Pacific) Consortium for Chiropractic Research has taken the initiative to research, investigate and provide information directed toward health care accountability, including evaluation of health care measures and practices. This article is a review of the literature pertaining to leg length inequality (LLI).

[Lengthening osteotomies in leg length inequality].

Der Orthopade, 2000
Callus distraction is the standard procedure for the operative treatment of leg length discrepancy. The deformity is analysed prior to surgery. Clinical assessment and imaging allow precise quantification. The procedure is performed by ring or unilateral frame and or i.m. nail in a continuous mode. The bone cut is performed percutaneously.

Leg Length Inequality Following Total Hip Replacement

1999
Most patients who undergo total hip replacement for arthrosis can expect dramatic improvement in their preoperative hip pain. However, leg length discrepancy following total hip replacement can result in significantly impaired postoperative function and persistent pain.

Leg length inequality in total hip replacement.

Annales chirurgiae et gynaecologiae, 1992
Clinical and radiographic leg length inequality and pelvic tilt were measured in the erect posture in 36 patients before and after total hip replacement. Good correlation was observed between clinical and radiographic evaluations of pelvic tilt, assessed as height difference between iliac crests.
