It is actually more common than you think. This could be a measurement problem in the order of the prosthesis of origin. Would you have had problems due to stress cracks in the thigh is necessary to impose a little lower than expected. The most important thing is to get the surgery ... additional delays in the course of time under anesthesia and with heart problems or infections. If the leg is a little off and on the sole of the shoe is thicker to compensate for a shoe to cover the difference. Another possibility is to create a template in a shoe just for aesthetics. (depending on the extent of the necessary adjustments)
ReplyDeleteIn fact, this happens as a natural fact, without the benefits of surgery. There are many people with congenital defects, making one leg shorter than the other. The same is done for them.
It is not unusual for replacing the patient's hip is seen as a difference in leg length [LLD] after THR. It is not unusual for this difference in perception over time to be resolved and then the muscle tone. However, there are also times when there is a real difference in the length.
ReplyDeleteI had both my hips replaced several years ago. I have a difference of about 1/4-3/8 "long. It is not, but enough that I run the risk of slipping or tripping esp. If I is shoes with rubber soles. For this reason, maintaining a minimal increase in the all my shoes and shoes that I do much walking. It works very well.

I also - if your LLD is too large, does not work an at-heel because the heel is too high and the shoes do not fit increased. Built In this case, the patient must Footwear abroad by a qualified repair shop.
