Summary

This study evaluates function, quality of life and development of hip- and knee osteoarthritis minimum 15 years after unilateral femoral lengthening on people with idiopathic or post-traumatic anisomelia.

Detailed description

This study has a cross-sectional design, where patients that completed femoral lengthening more than 15 years ago and fulfills the inclusion criteria's are invited to participate. Patients will undergo radiographic imaging to evaluate hip- and knee arthritis, axis deviaton and leg length discrepancy. To evaluate quality of life, function and pain, the participants will complete the forms EQ-5D-5L, Knee osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) and International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). Bilateral active hip and knee range of motion will be measured with hand held goniometer, and the functional tests 30 seconds sit to stand, hop tests and stair test will be conducted.

Conditions

• Leg Length Inequality
• Leg; Lengthening
• Osteoarthritis, Knee
• Osteoarthritis of Hip
• Quality of Life
