Leg length discrepancy after total hip arthroplasty performed by direct anterior approach: a systematic review comparing surgical approaches and strategies for prevention.

DAA shows comparable or superior results in the prevention of LLD compared to other surgical approaches. Supine patient placement, direct leg measurement, and the use of IF contribute to these outcomes. Intraoperative fluoroscopy with a grid and preoperative planning offers a good option, especially for training purposes, but its role in preventing LLD by experienced DAA surgeons needs further investigation.
