This article aimed to systematically review the reported leg length discrepancy (LLD) as a potential complication from osteotomy procedures in surgical treatment of pediatric patients with DDH.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The study protocol was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews. A comprehensive search was performed on PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, the Cochrane Library and Europe PubMed Central in March 2022.

The median LLD across the included studies was 1.30 cm. Limitations to this systematic review include study risk of bias, LLD reporting inconsistencies and assumptions when extracting the data which might have caused abnormal data distribution. Since no agreement exists regarding how much discrepancy between limb lengths is considered pathological, reports of cases and management of LLD vary widely. These results underline the importance of creating specific criteria to classify LLD severity and recommend appropriate treatment.
