Abstract: Leg length discrepancy can be noticed commonly in the general population occurring naturally without any secondary side effects it also can be noticed in some patient after surgical treatment of fractures or joint replacement surgery. The presence of this discrepancy can be assessed clinically and can be precisely measured using imaging techniques. LLD can badly affect the lower back, pelvis, hips, knees as well as the gait.
