Leg length discrepancy

Edit Post

Hey there, this is my first post here so I would like to welcome everybody!

So I have simple question. Some time ago I had an spine xray which shoved that I have a mild scoliosis. After consulting a doctor he said that this is because I have one leg shorter than another for about 1cm. This caused scoliosis, pelvis rotation and overall my left side of body is a little higher than right.

So at this moment this doesn't bother me much because I shouldn't have problems with this as doc said. My body adapted to this condition and even with scoliosis I shouldn't have big problems with my spine etc. Maybe in the future I will consider doing an operation to lenghten my leg and I would like to ask you about one thing. I am also medium bow legged (genu varum). Is it possible to correct this condition while doing limb lengthening at the same time?

Thanks for an answer!

My right leg is almost 2cm shorter than my left, I just wear a wedge in the right shoe to make up the difference. Can it really cause all that?

Then I suggest you to check your spine and pelvis because there might be a problem with them.

Here's my xray: http://prntscr.com/bkh0u9
You can see that left side of pelvis is higher (also left arm is higher) and spine bent to the other side to compensate this. This is because left leg is longer.
