Eligibility

Sex/Gender

All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria involved adult patients with structural leg length inequality of 5-20mm. structural leg length inequality was measured using CT scanogram. The body mass index (BMI) was =35 kg/m2 as BMI greater than 35 kg/m2 may impede the automatic detection of the bony landmarks by rasterstereography

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: The exclusion criteria were functional leg length inequality any serious medical condition as spine arthritis or disc lesions ligamentous instability of the lower limb.
