Abstract

The original review article, published in 2006, describing leg length discrepancy after total hip arthroplasty commented that "equal leg length should not be guaranteed." There has been considerable advancement in surgical technique and technology over the past decade, allowing surgeons to "hit the target" much more consistently. In this interval paper, we review leg length discrepancy and introduce some technologies designed to mitigate this complication. In addition, we present challenging clinical scenarios in which perceived leg length may differ from true leg length and how these can be addressed with proper workup and surgical execution.

全髋关节置换术中的腿长差异：并非所有差异都相同。

2006 年发表的原始综述文章描述了全髋关节置换术后的腿长差异，并评论说 "不应保证等长"。在过去的十年中，手术技巧和技术有了长足的进步，使外科医生能够更稳定地 "击中目标"。在这篇间隔性论文中，我们回顾了腿长不一致的情况，并介绍了一些旨在减轻这种并发症的技术。此外，我们还介绍了一些具有挑战性的临床场景，在这些场景中，感知的腿长可能与真实的腿长不同，以及如何通过正确的检查和手术执行来解决这些问题。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons was established in the fall of 1993 by the Academy in response to its membership’s demand for a clinical review journal. Two issues were published the first year, followed by six issues yearly from 1994 through 2004. In September 2005, JAAOS began publishing monthly issues. Each issue includes richly illustrated peer-reviewed articles focused on clinical diagnosis and management. Special features in each issue provide commentary on developments in pharmacotherapeutics, materials and techniques, and computer applications.
