Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hi I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if they've noticed a difference in leg length after resurfacing? I'm curious because I read somewhere else regarding osteotomy that it does occur to some. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm getting my natural hip position back to horizontal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
