LEG LENGTHENING DISABILITY



Abstract

Following total hip arthroplasty, leg-lengthening disability is not uncommon, and it remains an important problem for patients.

This paper discusses methods of equalising limb lengths and reviews results achieved at the Avon Orthopaedic Centre in Bristol.

The abstracts were prepared by Professor M. B. E. Sweet. Correspondence should be addressed to him at The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Medical School, University of Witwatersrand, 7 York Road, Parktown, Johannesburg, 2193 South Africa
