A BOOT ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING LEG LENGTH DISCREPANCY INTRA-OPERATIVELY AND POST-OPERATIVELY FOR HIP SURGERY USING SAID BOOT ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A boot arrangement for determination of leg length discrepancy intra-operatively and post-operatively for hip surgery having a boot that includes an ankle and/or heel aperture to provide access for a surgeon to engage a bony feature around the ankle and/or heel of a patient wearing the boot such that the aligning of the or each hand digit of the hands of the surgeon upon the respective bony features on or around the ankle or heel of each leg of the patient enables a determination of length discrepancy between legs of the patient undergoing hip surgery.
