When I look at my before and after surgery x-rays, it's no wonder my legs are such different lengths! On my right leg (on the left in the pictures) the top of my femur has dropped heaps. Using my left hip, which hasn't moved, as point of reference, you can see that the right hip was slightly higher than it, and is now quite a bit lower than it.
Before my operation (right hip sits higher than the left):
After the operation (right hip sits well below the left):
That point in the hip, where the line comes out from, has gone from sitting alongside my pelvis to being below it. It's actually quite a good visual representation of the change in placement that has occurred in my hip, to explain why my right leg is now 2.5cm longer than my left.
Crazy!
