Femur length: The superior aspect of the femoral head and the distal portion of the medial femoral condyle.

Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is used in orthopedic surgery, and oral and maxillofacial surgery to repair skeletal deformities and in reconstructive surgery. [1] [2] [3] It was originally used to treat problems like unequal leg length, but since the 1980s is most commonly used to treat issues like hemifacial microsomia, micrognathism (chin so small it causes health problems), craniofrontonasal ...
The method involves using the device to identify and remove vertebral subluxations and correct "pelvic deficiency", defined as an "'apparent' difference in leg length, not an anatomical difference". The chiropractor checks the patient's "functional leg length" in the prone position, then uses the device on various parts of the body, and then ...

[10] Pronation can be influenced by sources outside of the body as well ...

Operations for leg lengthening and other cosmetic corrections are recommended professionally for patients who are at least 17 years in age, after the complete growth zone closure occurs in the organism's body, thus minimizing future growth related problems. Anthropometric cosmetology can be used when the patient has: [2] X-shaped curvature of ...
