Boiterie due au raccourcissement d'un membre. Le raccourcissement de moins de 2 cm du membre inférieur peut être compensé par l'obliquité du bassin, sans provoquer une démarche boiteuse. [...] Pour compenser un raccourcissement plus important, le malade maintient le pied en flexion, s'appuyant seulement sur les orteils du membre affecté. Celui-ci reste rigide, avec un minimum de flexion de la hanche et du genou pendant les différentes phases de la marche [...]. Si cela ne suffit pas à compenser un raccourcissement plus important, le malade fléchit alors le genou et la hanche du côté sain. 1, record 1, French, - boiterie%20due%20au%20raccourcissement%20d%27un%20membre
