I'm 39 and I was born with a shortened right femur, which in turn has other associated issues. I had surgery in my teens to help correct the leg length discrepancy as much as possible, I also have a slight external raise on my right shoe.

What I'd like to know is there anyone else out there with a similar situation to mine and if so, what do you do in terms of excercise and treatment to help with mobility and comfort levels. Any help, or advice/ideas on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi Aussiegirl - I am 30, have a short femur and underdeveloped hip, but was never subjected to a surgery. I enjoy swimming especially, but also walking/hiking, with the help of a prosthesis of course. I used to be very active with horseback riding, that's another good thing to do without a prosthesis that gives a sense of accomplishment and improves balance and coordination. Don't know if that helps much?
