Limb Length Inequality (LLI)
Limb Length Inequality Care by Dr. Harsha G N
Limb Length Inequality (LLI) is a condition where one limb is shorter or longer than the other, leading to imbalance, abnormal gait, back pain, and joint strain. This condition may be present from birth or develop due to trauma, infection, growth plate injuries, or improper fracture healing.
Management of limb length inequality requires precise assessment using clinical evaluation and advanced imaging. Treatment options depend on the severity and may include shoe lifts, growth modulation, limb lengthening procedures, or corrective surgery to restore symmetry and functional balance.
When to Consider Limb Length Inequality Treatment
- Noticeable difference in leg length or uneven posture
- Limping, abnormal walking pattern, or imbalance
- Persistent back, hip, knee, or ankle pain
- Functional limitations during standing or physical activity
Advantages of Limb Length Inequality Correction
- Improved limb symmetry and balanced posture
- Enhanced walking ability and movement efficiency
- Reduction in joint stress and chronic pain
- Better functional outcomes and quality of life
Post-treatment rehabilitation is vital for successful recovery. A tailored physiotherapy program helps restore strength, coordination, and gait balance. Continuous follow-up ensures accurate correction, healthy bone growth, and long-term functional stability.

My first operation ever (hopefully the last). The experience in the Operation Theatre was mind blowing. DK sir, all docs, and supporting staff were extremely cool right from the time I got into the Operation Theatre. I had to get my Ankle operated (2 fractures). I felt I was in safe hands throughout.

We have known Dr.Harsha for 2 years now. Had consulted him for my mother in law arthritis treatment. Recently visited him for my mother in law’s arm fracture. He provided us with the best course of treatment considering all the other health factors. Always seen him as a very humble person, provides knowledgable care and takes time to address all our doubts and fears. Good doctors like Dr.Harsha replace the fear of illness with trust in recovery. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a good orthopaedic advice and treatment. I am really grateful for your exceptional care and dedication to patient well being.

I met with an accident in July, 2023,resulting in severe fracture of my left elbow joint.I got admitted to RV Aster hospital. Surgery was performed under the care of Dr. Harsha and his dedicated team. The surgery was successful and I am delighted to share that I have fully regained the functionality of my hand, restoring it to its original state. I am exceptionally pleased with the exceptional treatment I received.
