Painful DDH in a pt with Prior Limb lengthening done

 


Postop the limb was perceived to be long
The postop Pelvic tilt was suggested as the IT band being pulled due to the lentgening

3 month wt bearing xray showed a corrected LLD

Was caught out by un noticed limb lengthening done as a kid Happy to see her today standing on operated leg with no limb at 6 months without an abductor lurch( modified Hardinge approach) She is off to canada for studies and our entire team wishes her well
