title: Leg length discrepancy.
abstract: 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.
