I've recently run across some literature about leg-length discrepancy as a possible cause of functional scoliosis (which I understand is usually mild and appears to correct itself in bending x-rays). My left leg is slightly longer than my right leg, or at least it appears to be longer (or FEELS longer, anyway). But no one has expressed any interest in this, including Dr. Boachie. When I'm standing, my pelvis in x-rays appears to be pretty level, so I'm sure the discrepancy is small.
But shouldn't every scoliosis patient be screened for this before surgery, and wouldn't untreated leg-length discrepancy affect how you heal and maintain correction after surgery??
Thanks,
Chris
