Does the Intra-operatively measured Leg Length Correction compare to the Post-operative radiograph in Total Hip Replacement surgery?
Aims This study aims to compare the leg length correction (LLC) measured intra-operatively using the Vertical Measurement SystemTM (VMS) in total hip arthroplasty (THA), with the LLC measured on a 6-week post-operative Xray. We also wanted to quantify any residual leg length discrepancy (LLD) using …

Validation of Running Symmetry Using Trunk Mounted Accelerometry: Clinical Trial and Case Study
… In the first study, artificially inducing a leg length discrepancy led to a difference between running symmetry scores. This discrepancy was confirmed using individual accelerometers attached to the lower leg near the foot. Next, varying running speed did not result in differences in running …

The effectiveness of different minimally invasive epiphysiodesis techniques in the management of paediatric leg length discrepancies: a systematic review
Paediatric leg length discrepancies (LLDs) are more common than might be expected with the literature reporting that between 0.1 and 7% of the paediatric population has a LLD of >2 cm. Causes can be subdivided into congenital and acquired aetiologies. LLDs greater than 2 cm can lead to functional …

An articulated drill and hybrid tracking navigation system for orthopaedic surgery
… of the patient ending up with unequal leg lengths, which are referred to as a leg-length discrepancy (LLD). One way to reduce the risk in THA procedure is improving accurate placement and alignment of implants using robotic technology. In Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), the usage of …
