Limb-length inequality5
  • Treatment options vary, depending on the degree of limb-length inequality, the age of the patient, the expected height, and the desires of the patient or family. (medscape.com)
  • The pathophysiology of the resultant limb-length inequality may be related to the bowing. (medscape.com)
  • The degree of initial tibial deformity (which largely resolves by age 8 years) has been shown to be ultimately associated with the severity of tibial shortening and resulting limb-length inequality. (medscape.com)
