Functional scoliosis caused by leg length discrepancy
INTRODUCTION Leg length discrepancy (LLD) causes pelvic obliquity in the frontal plane and lumbar scoliosis with convexity towards the shorter extremity. Leg length discrepancy is observed in 3-15% of the population. Unequalized lower limb length discrepancy leads to posture deformation, gait asymmetry, low back pain and discopathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the years 1998-2006, 369 children, a...
متن کاملTibial shortening for leg length discrepancy.
Over a 25-year period, 12 patients had from 2.5 to 5.1 cm operative shortening of the tibia and fibula for leg length discrepancy at between four and 18 years of age. All recovered normal function and there was minor cosmetic impairment in only two cases. The only vascular complication was temporary delay in return of the circulation to the foot after tourniquet removal in one patient. The proc...
متن کاملLeg-length discrepancy after total hip arthroplasty.
Leg-length discrepancy after total hip arthroplasty can pose a substantial problem for the orthopaedic surgeon. Such discrepancy has been associated with complications including nerve palsy, low back pain, and abnormal gait. Careful preoperative measurement and assessment, as well as preoperative and postoperative patient education, are important factors in achieving an acceptable result. Howev...
متن کاملLeg Length Discrepancy: Assessment and Secondary Effects
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, h...
متن کاملDetecting Anatomical Leg Length Discrepancy Using the Plug-in-Gait Model
Leg length discrepancy (LLD) is a significant factor influencing several pathological conditions. Gait analysis is based on biomechanical gait models calculating joint kinematics; however, no previous study has validated its ability to detect anatomical LLD. The aim of the present study was to compare the validity of the Vicon® Plug-in-Gait-model (PGM) in measuring femur and tibia segmental len...
