Leg Length Discrepancy: Assessment and Secondary Effects
نویسنده
چکیده
Leg length discrepancy can be noticed commonly in the general population occurring naturally without any secondary side effects it also can be noticed in some patient after surgical treatment of fractures or joint replacement surgery. The presence of this discrepancy can be assessed clinically and can be precisely measured using imaging techniques. LLD can badly affect the lower back, pelvis, hips, knees as well as the gait.

Prediction of Clinically Significant Leg-Length Discrepancy in Congenital Disorders.
Leg-length discrepancy greater than 2 to 2.5 cm can potentially have an adverse effect on our walking and standing mechanisms and requires proper correction involving surgical treatment. However, for minor leg-length discrepancy in childhood, decision making for the indications for and timing of epiphysiodesis is difficult because of unpredictable final discrepancy. The purpose of this study wa...

متن کاملThe comparison and validity and reliability study of bilateral innominate vertical length measurements using innovative digital radiographic imaging software in assessing scoliotic leg length discrepancy
Background information The role of leg length discrepancy (LLD) has been implicated in certain types of scoliosis [1]. Scoliotic LLD has been suggested as a result of rotation of the innominate bones [2]. However, the role of innominate vertical lengths (IVLs) as a predisposing factor for scoliosis is not clear. The reliability of radiographic measurements may reveal whether IVL can be used as ...
