Background:

Closed femoral shortening (CFS) is a recognised procedure for managing leg length discrepancy (LLD).

Method:

We report twenty-nine consecutive patients with LLD who underwent CFS using an intramedullary saw and nail. Mean age was 29.2 years (16.1–65.8). The primary outcome was accuracy of correction. Secondary outcomes were complications, union, ASAMI score and re-operation, alongside Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), using EQ5D-5L and GROC.
