Incidence of knee height asymmetry in a paediatric population of corrected leg length discrepancy: a retrospective chart review study

ConclusionThe current study provides a method to quantify knee height asymmetry. Using this method, it was shown that knee height asymmetry is frequent in youth with limb length discrepancy in both pre- and post-corrective surgery states. The relatively high incidence of knee height asymmetry highlights the importance to investigate the impact of knee height asymmetry in youth living with a limb length discrepancy.
