Demonstrates enhanced limb length accuracy in total hip arthroplasty, implying high patient satisfaction.

To improve limb length restoration in total hip arthroplasty through a patient-specific approach.
Included 102 patients undergoing primary hip arthroplasty.
Assessed patient-perceived and surgeon-examined limb length differences.
Determined target hip length using radiographic measurements and physical examination.
32.35% of patients reported perceived limb length discrepancies before surgery.
Postoperative satisfaction was over 99% with no symptoms of limb length discrepancy.
Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score improved significantly from pre- to postoperative.

Chi et al. (2026) studied this question.
