Leg length difference and Hip Replacement history Posted: 05-17-08 15:32pm
How often does a 1/2 inch or more
difference in leg length necessitate hip
surgery?
Does the shorter leg lead to problems in
the same hip?
What are the symptoms?
For me - the pain is in the below the hip
- the hip joint itself pops and crackles.
I am a otherwise healthy, athletic 48 yr
old male.

I'm pretty sure 1/2 an inch is not enough
to qualify you to be a candidate for
surgery, but go talk to your doctor about
it and if not you can do physical therapy
to learn to realign your body and work to
build up the muscles that will keep you in
alignment.
