    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Pediatric Endocrinology
    • Growth and Development

    Background:

    • Leg-length discrepancy (LLD) is a common orthopedic condition.
    • LLD can arise from various factors influencing leg growth rate or final length.
    • Accurate prediction of LLD at skeletal maturity is essential for effective treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review factors influencing leg-length discrepancy.
    • To emphasize the importance of past growth pattern assessment.
    • To guide treatment decisions for LLD.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of factors affecting leg length.
    • Analysis of growth assessment methodologies.
    • Synthesis of information on LLD prediction.

    Main Results:

    • Identified key factors impacting leg growth and discrepancy.
    • Highlighted the critical role of historical growth data.
    • Emphasized the need for comprehensive assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding factors influencing LLD is vital.
    • Accurate growth prediction guides optimal treatment strategies.
    • Past growth assessment is fundamental for managing LLD.
