How long has it been since you operation? I thought my operated leg was much longer but when I attended my 6 week check I found it was my pelvis that was twisted. Could this be the case for you as well?

dont worry too much yet. My op leg seemed much longer for the first few months after my op. It's because the muscles and ligaments in your bottom and around your hip have to mend. You can't really tell until about a year after. Mine is only about a cm different now and I can walk without a limp but I am aware of the difference and just have to be a bit careful. Hope it works out for you ok.

Just sending greetings, and agreeing with Elizabeth that it's too early to be sure....
i've just been to an Alexandra Technique lesson, good for regaining strength and posture, and both legs are now exactly the same length now at 8 months. Now, at 1 month there was a1.5 inch difference in length, but all got settled down.
so, hope it all works out for you
Warmly

It is too early, really - and how did you measure it - were your legs the same length before the surgeries ? according to my surgeon legs are now same lenght (after 2nd THR) - it doesn't feel that way yet - but I have been walking so crooked and bend over for so long -
just be mindful when you are walking and try not to worry too much until you have seen your surgeon at follow up appointment -
big warm hug

and i havent been that long
i am afraid that i will need a second operation just because i will not agree to limp as i am single 38year old and this will take out part of my life,
plus usually limping gets you to knee problems, lower back problems and so and so
