[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 ...

Leg Length Inequality After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986Leg length inequality (LLI) in 55 patients with cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) was measured from weight-bearing anteroposterior (AP) hip radiographs. The mean radiologic LLI was 8.7 mm in unilateral and 11.6 mm in bilateral THA, differing significantly from the clinically measured values (2.8 mm and 4.2 mm, respectively).

Management of leg length inequality.
Journal of the Southern Orthopaedic Association, 2002Leg 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.

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 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.

[Lengthening osteotomies in leg length inequality].
Der Orthopade, 2000Callus 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 in humans: a new neurophysiological approach
Neuroscience Letters, 2004In conditions where there is moderate or severe pain, such as in low back pain, sciatica and osteoarthritis affecting the hip, the patient often reports the sensation that the two legs are of unequal length. This sensation cannot be explained as a result of fracture or other trauma that might cause a real change in length of the legs.
