Hi AfterCare,
I can't say that I recall hearing of LLD pre-op. I don't know that significant leg length discrepancies are as common as minor ones and feel the OS's concentrate on the more serious possible risks or complications such as blood clots or infection as examples. Many want to hear of every possible issue that can develop post op, but my guess is just as many don't to avoid feeling unnecessarily anxious or overwhelmed. I fall into the latter category, but we're all different. I'll be watching to see what others have to say on this topic.
I hope you have a nice Christmas and I thank you for sharing your healing journey with all!
