Article Synopsis
- Limb length discrepancy (LLD) is a common issue after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and can lead to patient dissatisfaction.
- A study analyzed 162 preoperative pelvic radiographs using four landmarks to measure limb lengths, finding weak correlations and significant variation in LLD measurements.
- The results suggest that current methods for measuring leg length in hip replacement surgery are unreliable and should be used cautiously in both clinical and research contexts.
