A member asked:
What are the long term effects of having one leg one inch shorter than the other for 30 years due to a bone resection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: For anyone with leg length discrepency, it is worthwhile being seen by a physical therapist for evaluation, and a podiatrist for fitting of an orthotic shoe that can prevent strain on the hips and pelvis.
