Can you lengthen my leg with a hip replacement?
With HSR typical leg lengthening is _ cm (3/16 inch). In certain cases of hip dysplasia or severe acetabular wear up to 1 cm (3/8 inch) increased length can be achieved. In THR the leg can be lengthened up to 2.5 cm (1 inch). In THR occasionally it occurs. This cannot really occur with HSR.
