    Summary

    Leg length discrepancy (LLD) after hip replacement is a common issue causing pain and lawsuits. This review focuses on surgical planning and techniques to prevent LLD and manage it post-surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopaedic Surgery
    • Arthroplasty
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Leg length discrepancy (LLD) is a frequent complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA).
    • LLD can lead to significant patient morbidity, including pain and functional disability.
    • It is a primary cause of litigation against orthopaedic surgeons.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review strategies for preventing LLD during THA surgery.
    • To outline methods for managing LLD in the postoperative period.
    • To emphasize operative planning to avoid LLD pitfalls.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical techniques and planning for THA.
    • Analysis of common causes and prevention of LLD.
    • Discussion of postoperative management of LLD.

    Main Results:

    • Surgical planning and meticulous execution are crucial for preventing LLD.
    • Preoperative assessment and intraoperative measurements aid in limb length equalization.
    • Postoperative management strategies exist for correcting LLD.

    Conclusions:

    • Preventing LLD during THA requires careful preoperative planning and precise surgical technique.
    • Awareness of potential pitfalls and appropriate management are essential for optimal patient outcomes.
    • Minimizing LLD improves patient satisfaction and reduces medico-legal risks.
