Page 2: Limb length discrepancy - lists.ncl.ac.uk · Limb length discrepancy Andrew Port. The importance of LLD • 60% long -mean 1cm –Perceived at 6mm • 30% short -mean 6mm –Perceived

The importance of LLD

• 60% long - mean 1cm– Perceived at 6mm

• 30% short - mean 6mm– Perceived at 1cm

• All due to femoral implant position

• Sign. Worse OHS

• 15% improved between 3/12 – 1 year
