About 3-1/2 years ago I had a hip replacement followed by a broken femur which left one of my legs about 2 inches shorter than the other leg. I was told to get lifts for my shoes. I limped for 3 years which gave me back problems amongst other problems. Last fall I was in the Ortho's office getting some injections from the PA. While there I was complaining about my shorter leg length. When I returned the next week the PA told me they could make my leg longer. I thought he was joking. He was not joking and went on to explain how it is done. Last December I had my leg made longer. It sure beats shoe lifts, limping, etc. It was the best thing I could have had done. I now move normal with NO limp and feel so much better.
