Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Radiological limb length
Time Frame: 6 months
Limb length based on SterEOS 3D measurement
Intra- and interobserver reliability of the clinical lower limb measurements methods
Time Frame: 6 months
Intra- and interobserver reliability of clinical length measuring methods will be calculated using the 3 separated measurement of the 3 observers.
Accuracy of the clinical lower limb measurements methods
Time Frame: 6 months
Comparing the results of the radiological and clinical limb length results using the third measurement of the observers.
