Popis: Abstract Background We aimed to examine the inconsistency between radiographic leg length discrepancy (R-LLD) and perceived LLD (P-LLD) in patients with dysplastic hip osteoarthritis and to evaluate the factors that can cause such inconsistency. Methods We conducted a retrospective study on 120 patients. An inconsistent LLD was defined as a condition in which the P-LLD was shorter than the R-LLD by > 5 mm. We compared relevant data on the general characteristics of the patients and the radiological findings between consistent (group E, 92 cases [76.7%]) and inconsistent LLDs (group S, 28 cases [23.3%]). Results The number of patients with a history of hip surgery on the affected side and the Japanese Orthopedic Association classification pain scores were significantly higher in group S than in group E (32.1% vs. 10.8%, respectively; P = 0.015, and 21.7 ± 7.0 vs. 17.5 ± 8.2, respectively; P = 0.036). The pelvic oblique angle and length of the R-LLD were significantly higher in group S than in group E (2.9 ± 2.5° vs. 0.3 ± 2.3°, respectively; P
