A straight-line graph for leg-length discrepancies.
A graphic method is presented that facilitates the recording and interpretation of data in cases of leg-length discrepancy. It provides a mechanism for predicting future growth that automatically takes into account the child's growth percentile and the degree of growth inhibition in the short leg. It can be used to predict the effects of corrective surgical procedures and to choose a surgical timetable. A series of cases of epiphyseodesis is presented, showing the straight-line graph method to be significantly more accurate than the so-called growth-remaining method, particularly in cases of growth inhibition.
