Abstract

This is a case of limb length discrepancy (LLD) after having a left total hip replacement (THR) due to a history of avascular necrosis of the hip. A 2 cm discrepancy was present after the THR with the left operated side being longer. We describe this case and the correction of the LLD using the Precice nail for lengthening of the short right femur.
