LEG LENGTH DISCREPANCY


back

  • Long leg externally rotates
  • Short leg internally rotates
  • Pelvis tilts down towards longer leg
  • Causes ITB tendonitis in shorter leg
  • Have doctor measure lateral pelvic tilt on x-ray
  • Add lift into longer leg to even out pelvis and relieve strain on the shorter leg, hip, and knee
