The effect of leg length discrepancy on clinical outcome after TKA and identification of possible risk factors

Purpose This study was investigated on the leg length discrepancy (LLD) after computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and its effects on the post-operative function and patient satisfaction. It is hypothesized that LLD after computer-assisted TKA would affect the clinical outcomes for knee...

Description
Summary:Purpose This study was investigated on the leg length discrepancy (LLD) after computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and its effects on the post-operative function and patient satisfaction. It is hypothesized that LLD after computer-assisted TKA would affect the clinical outcomes for knee scores. Methods A total of 148 cases were analysed retrospectively with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. Eighty-one knees involved a
