Summary

This study looked at 68 adults who had hip replacement surgery at least a year earlier. Researchers used a special ultrasound to measure stiffness in a band of tissue on the side of the thigh, and compared it to actual and perceived differences in leg length. The goal was to understand if tissue stiffness plays a role in how patients sense leg length changes after surgery.
