My right leg is about 8mm longer. what is my true height?

Edit Post

My total height is 167. what is my true height if my right leg is 8mm longer?

For 8mm it hardly matters. But if you meant 8cm then I am pretty sure you can call yourself 175cm right now. If the government checks your height while issuing your driver's license they will measure you at 175cm.

I wanted to tell you an exciting secret. If you measured your height one legged, your height is about an inch taller than two legged. Would height measuring with one leg count as the real standing height.

167.

I meant it this way:

Lets say my left leg is 167 and my right leg is 167.7.

What is my real Height?

167.7 or round it to 168. You are not comfortable with measuring height one legged?

I believe you are only as tall as your shortest leg. This is why people with leg length discrepancy “gain height” from surgery….

8 mm is hardly noticeable.

You are as tall as the top of your head is from the floor.

Yes this is true because you stand on the shorter leg, not the longer one. Dr Robbins told me this when I was hesitant to shorten my longer leg.
