Diagram showing a standardized-trochanteric method to assess leg-length discrepancy. R1 and R2 are the vertical distance from the bilateral center of rotation to the inter-teardrop line. Line AB and line CD are the anatomical axes of the femurs. Point A and point C are the perpendicular intersections from the center of rotation to the femoral anatomical axis. Point B and point D are the perpendicular intersections from the tip of the lesser trochanter to the femoral anatomical axis. H1 and H2 are equal to AB and CD, respectively. Leg-length discrepancy = (H1 − R1) − (H2 − R2)
