X-rays for leg length measurement.. Unequal leg length in children is frequently first suspected by parents noticing a limp that appears to be getting worse. [3] The standard workup in children is a thorough physical examination, including observing the child while walking and running. [3]
The thickness of the fascia can give problems when any inflammation present in the leg has little room to expand into. Blood vessels and nerves can also be affected by the pressure caused by any swelling in the leg. If the pressure becomes great enough, blood flow to the muscle can be blocked, leading to a condition known as compartment ...

A compartment space is anatomically determined by an unyielding fascial (and osseous) enclosure of the muscles.The anterior compartment syndrome of the lower leg (often referred to simply as anterior compartment syndrome), can affect any and all four muscles of that compartment: tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius.
Involuntary extension of the "normal" leg occurs when flexing the contralateral leg against resistance. To perform the test, the examiner should hold one hand under the heel of the "normal" limb and ask the patient to flex the contralateral hip against resistance (while the patient is supine), asking the patient to keep the weak leg straight while raising it.
Mini-knemometry determines the lower leg length with an accuracy of less than 100 μm (0.1 mm). This enables substantiating growth within 24 hours. In an animal model, the technique was used to investigate the effects of steroids and growth hormone on short-term growth. [5] These studies were an important prerequisite for improving growth ...
