Uneven hip bones.

[michmig]

My daughter is eight years old. A couple of months ago a doctor has noticed that her right hip bone is longer than her left resulting in her right leg being almost 1.5 centimeters longer than her left leg, the left is normal. We have been to different doctors and heard different opinions. One doctor suggested to do a surgery at the age of 14, and another doctor suggested to do one surgery now and my daughter has to walk 4 months with canes and then another surgery in 5 years from now because he said that two surgeries are neccessary and not just one.
My question is what is better and right to do in this case?

I'm not sure but I have heard that this kind of bone illness is called Beckham's Syndrome. Any reference is very appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

i don't know any answer, but i'd suggest taking her to a pediatric orthopod at a university hospital where they are familiar with the condition if you have not already done that...just to find out the standard course of treatment.  best wishes.
