- Leg Length Inequality
- Registration Number
- NCT05122533
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Pecs
- Brief Summary
There are numerous ways to measure limb length discrepancy in the clinical practice, although their reliability and accuracy are not well known. In our prospective diagnostic study we aimed to test the most popular methods and compare their results to EOS 3D reconstructions data.
