So I did a measurement and it turns out I have about a 2 inch length discrepancy, and it's possibly both my right femur and tibia that are longer than left (appears to be the case), I am making correction a priority over LL as I also have scoliosis, and the length discrepancy tilts my pelvis which probably is the root cause of it. I am also thinking that correcting it may increase my height a bit, and of course anything I can do to fix my scoliosis, cause the more my spine curves, the more height I will lose.
Anyway, I am wondering therefore if anyone knows what insurances cover length discrepancy correction? I called Paley Institute, since they're my first choice for surgery but got a voicemail. So thought I'd ask here in the mean time...
