title: [Idiopathic leg length inequality in childhood and its prognosis].
abstract: In 128 children with leg length differences following observations had been done: Equalization by growth cannot be expected if there is no tendency for improvement within a year. Differences of leg length having transgressed 2 cm cannot be suggested to normalize spontaneously by growth. No relationships could be established between the tendency for equalization and age dependent growth spurts.
