What is Leg Length Inequality and Knee Osteoarthritis about?
This study investigates the association between leg length inequality and knee osteoarthritis in a cohort of 3,026 subjects aged 50-79. It finds that a leg length inequality of ≥1 cm significantly increases the risk of prevalent, incident, and progressive knee osteoarthritis, particularly in the shorter limb. The findings suggest that leg length inequality is a modifiable risk factor for knee osteoarthritis, with potential for correction through simple interventions like shoe modifications.
