Leg length discrepancy. 1987

The proper management of LLD requires careful clinical and radiologic assessment, and repeated analysis of past growth in order to predict future growth. Treatment decisions must be re-evaluated constantly in the light of new leg length data and evolving surgical technique. Surgical treatment can be especially gratifying when anatomic, cosmetic, and functional symmetry is restored and a lifetime of shoe lifts, braces, or prostheses is avoided.
