Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study has a cross-sectional design, where patients that completed femoral lengthening more than 15 years ago and fulfills the inclusion criteria's are invited to participate. Patients will undergo radiographic imaging to evaluate hip- and knee arthritis, axis deviaton and leg length discrepancy. To evaluate quality of life, function and pain, the participants will complete the forms EQ-5D-5L, Knee osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) and International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). Bilateral active hip and knee range of motion will be measured with hand held goniometer, and the functional tests 30 seconds sit to stand, hop tests and stair test will be conducted.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients with idiopathic or post traumatic leg length discrepancy who are lengthened with the callutasis method minimum 15 years ago

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients that are lenghtened with innate pathology resulting in shortening of the limb, angle deviation and less musculature, for example congenital femoral deficiency or fibula hemimelia.
* Patients with acquired leg length discrepancy who have had infection in knee or hip joint
