Leg length discrepancy after THR — Sandra_from_England, Fri Jul 3 6:19am

I am now 1 year post RTHR. I have already seen PTs about my swinging gait and written about it on this site. A family member who is a PT assessed me and said that the right leg was about half an inch longer than the left leg. I will mention it to my PT next Wednesday. Has anyone experienced this? Sandra
