Leg Length Inequality in Total Hip Arthroplasty
Orthopedics, 2005abstract Postoperative leg length inequality after total hip arthroplasty frequently leads to medical liability issues because no standard exists regarding the acceptable disparity. Modular stems allow control of offset, independent sizing of the distal femoral anatomy, as well as proximal medullary sizing.

Leg length inequality is a relatively common musculoskeletal malalignment related to structural, postural and environmental factors. The inequality is a plausible aetiological factor in the development of a variety of overuse injuries because it alters the magnitude and distribution of mechanical stress within the body.

Rheumatic disease aspects of leg length inequality
Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1988Inequality 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, 199732 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 ...

Low-Back Pain Associated With Leg Length Inequality
Spine, 1981The possible association between pelvic obliquity and low-back pain is investigated in low-back pain patients and a control population. A precise method of erect posture radiography is used to carefully measure leg length inequality in these two groups.

Management of Congenital Leg Length Inequality
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B, 1995The 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.

Leg-length inequality in children treated by Syme's amputation
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1987We have reviewed the results of amputation through the ankle in the management of 37 children with congenital leg-length discrepancy, followed up for a mean of 7.6 years after operation. In general good function was achieved and 18 patients considered their activities to be unrestricted.

Perception of Imposed Leg Length Inequality in Normal Subjects
HIP International, 2010Lower limb length differences of up to 10mm exist in 60% - 95% of the population. There are usually no symptoms or functional effects. Following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), satisfactory clinical results can be spoiled by dissatisfaction due to a change in leg length.

Leg Length Inequality and Epiphysiodesis: Review of 96 Cases
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2003A retrospective analysis of 96 patients who underwent an epiphysiodesis procedure for leg length discrepancy was performed. Forty patients were identified who had an open Phemister-type epiphysiodesis. Fifty-six patients underwent a percutaneous epiphysiodesis procedure. All patients' medical records and radiographs were reviewed for complications.
