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.

Leg-length inequality is not associated with greater trochanteric pain syndrome. [PDF]
Arthritis Res Ther, 2008 Abstract Introduction Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common condition, the pathogenesis of which is incompletely understood. Although leg-length inequality has been suggested as a potential risk factor for GTPS, this widely held assumption has not been tested.

Brief Report: Leg Length Inequality and Hip Osteoarthritis in the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study and the Osteoarthritis Initiative. [PDF]
Arthritis Rheumatol, 2018 ObjectiveStudies suggest that persons with a leg length inequality (LLI) of ≥2 cm have an increased risk of developing knee osteoarthritis (OA) in that limb. The present study was undertaken to examine whether LLI also confers an increased risk of hip OA.
