Broken Fermur, Longer Leg Posted: 05-29-05 17:50pm
Hi, two months ago I broke my femur in a
car accident, the bone was broken in half
right at the middle. I had surgery and
they put the rod that goes from the hip to
the knee inside my bone.
I am getting better now but I have notice
that my leg is now straighter and longer
than my other leg probably by 10mm, and I
don't know if this is normal.
I can even notince my knee being lower in
my broken leg.
Is there a solution for this or this is
just normal????

I have the same problem. The doctor told
me that when I start walking if it's a
problem or causes a limp, I can go to a
shoe store and get an insert. It's a
very easy solution. But most of the time
if it's a little off it won't even effect
anyone. (well thats what the doc told
me).
