Objective: Preoperative factors related to perceived leg length discrepancy (PLLD) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) are not well studied. This study aimed to examine the preoperative factors, including hip abductor modulus, related to PLLD one month after THA. Methods: The study included 73 patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip and a posterior approach to surgery. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed using the presence or absence of PLLD as the dependent variable and preoperative hip abductor's modulus of elasticity, pain, hip abduction range of motion, hip abductor muscle strength and pelvic obliquity as the independent variable. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic curves were used for the extracted variables for calculating the cutoffs, sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) to determine the presence or absence of PLLD. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: The hip abductor modulus (odds ratio=1.13; 95% confidence interval=1.06-1.21; p<0.001) was selected as a preoperative factor. The cutoff value to determine the presence or absence of a PLLD was 16.32 kPa. The sensitivity and specificity were 81.8% and 72.5%, respectively, and the AUC was 0.8137. Conclusion: The hip abductor muscle elastic modulus affected PLLD one month after THA. If the preoperative hip abductor elastic modulus is higher than the cutoff value, it may affect the appearance of PLLD at one month postoperatively.

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to determine whether insoles change standing balance on the ground in normal and flat-footed subjects. [Subjects] Twenty subjects with flatfeet and 20 subjects with normal feet were included in this study. [Methods] Body sway was evaluated based on the center of pressure while subjects stood on the ground. Body sway was measured during upright standing with the feet 10 cm apart for 30 seconds. The total locus length and the area of body sway were then measured using a zebris system. Measurements were made under three sets of conditions: using BMZ insoles, which supported the cuboid; using Superfeet insoles, which supported the medial longitudinal arch; and with no insoles. [Results] The 3 insole conditions were compared. On level ground, the total locus length for the Superfeet insole was significantly less than those for the BMZ insole and no insole. [Conclusion] On level ground, Superfeet feet insoles were effective in stabilizing standing balance in both flat-footed and normal-footed subjects.
