  • Title: [Idiopathic leg length inequality in childhood and its prognosis].
    Author: Rüther W, Münzenberg KJ, de Mello GA.
    Journal: Klin Padiatr; 1987; 199(2):111-4. PubMed ID: 3586558.
    Abstract:
    In 128 children with leg length differences following observations had been done: Equalization by growth cannot be expected if there is no tendency for improvement within a year. Differences of leg length having transgressed 2 cm cannot be suggested to normalize spontaneously by growth. No relationships could be established between the tendency for equalization and age dependent growth spurts.
