Search for: [Abstract = "measured on the full leg\-lengths X\-ray as a sum of the femoral and acetabular offset. Results\: The mean postoperative clinical and anatomical LLD was 3 mm and 5 mm, respectively. The correlation between clinical and anatomical LLD before surgery was average and improved to high after surgery. Significantly worse functional result measured by OHS was obtained in the group of patients with anatomically shortened legs, as well as in patients subjectively experiencing LLD. A significantly greater frequency of limping and a slower WS have been demonstrated in people with limb inequality. In people with an anatomical LLD of up to 5 mm, only 6% felt the limb inequality, as opposed to 43% over 5 mm. There was a significant difference in the Δ LLD index between the groups of patients with and without LLD, and it was 9 mm and 4 mm, respectively. It has also been shown that a 1,1% change in WZDK is not felt as LLD, while a 2% change is. There were no significant correlations between the hip offset and the clinical or subjective difference in limb length, as well as functional outcomes. Conclusions\: The leg length discrepancy influences the clinical outcome after hip arthroplasty and anatomical LLD up to 5 mm is recommended. The subjective LLD, apart from the anatomical LLD, also depends on the Δ LLD index and WZDK ratio. The block test is recommended for the LLD clinical trial. Prior"]
