Length discrepancy secondary to limb hypoplasia has been described as an associated finding in patients with unilateral clubfoot. In this manuscript we bring attention to limb length discrepancy as a result of surgical treatment in unilateral clubfoot. Three patients who underwent extensive posterior, medial and lateral release were noted to have an average discrepancy in foot height of 2.1 centimeters (range, 2.0-2.3 centimeters). A decrease in foot height in addition to baseline limb hypoplasia may lead to a significant discrepancy that may justify surgical treatment. In this manuscript we point out that length discrepancy in such cases may not be adequately quantified on standard anteroposterior scanograms. Standing lateral foot radiographs will document loss in foot height as a possible factor in length discrepancy in surgically treated clubfoot patients.

Leg length discrepancy in unilateral congenital clubfoot following surgical treatment.

Since the first description of an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tear at the elbow 60 years ago and the first description of surgical reconstruction 20 years ago, many advances have been made in management and surgery. UCL tears at the elbow remain a disease of the overhead athlete. Various imaging studies have been used in the diagnosis of UCL tears at the elbow; however, the physical examination and history continue to be the most important tools. This article describes the history and what has been learned as well as the approach to the treatment of UCL tears at the elbow.
