Tengo una pierna más larga después de la operación de cadera… ¿es normal? DISMETRÍA DE CADERA

Have you noticed that one leg is longer or shorter after hip replacement surgery? This is one of the most common questions after surgery and can cause worry, discomfort when walking, or even lower back pain. In this video, I explain clearly and simply why leg length discrepancies occur after hip replacement and what you can do to improve them. 🔹 You'll learn exactly what leg length discrepancies are and the differences between structural (real) leg length discrepancies and functional (apparent) leg length discrepancies. 🔹 You'll understand why this leg length discrepancy can occur after surgery: • Surgical adjustments to ensure the stability of the prosthesis. • Changes in the position of the pelvis after years of compensation. • Muscular imbalances that mean the body hasn't yet "repositioned itself." 🔹 I'll explain how to properly assess it, when it makes sense to do telemetry or a millimeter X-ray, and when this difference can be considered structural or merely postural. 👉 Most limb differences after a prosthesis are not a surgical error, but rather a phase of the body's adaptation, and with good physical therapy and gait retraining, they are progressively corrected. I'll explain what you can expect month by month and when it's a good idea to have a checkup if the difference persists. 💬 If you recently had surgery or have been using a prosthesis for a while and notice this sensation, this video will help you better understand your body and know what steps to take to regain your balance, confidence, and natural movement. ------------------- 🔹 Legal Notice / Disclaimer: The content of this channel is for informational and educational purposes only.
