File:Leg length discrepancy after hip replacement.jpg|''Leg length discrepancy'' after Hansson pins is calculated similarly to in [[X-ray of hip prostheses]] (pictured), calculated as the vertical distance between the middle of the minor trochanters, using the acetabular tear drops<ref name=Vanrusselt2015/> or the transischial line<ref name=Watt/> as references for the horizontal plane. A discrepancy of up to 1 cm is generally tolerated.<ref name=Vanrusselt2015>{{cite journal|last1=Vanrusselt|first1=Jan|last2=Vansevenant|first2=Milan|last3=Vanderschueren|first3=Geert|last4=Vanhoenacker|first4=Filip|title=Postoperative radiograph of the hip arthroplasty: what the radiologist should know|journal=Insights into Imaging|volume=6|issue=6|year=2015|pages=591–600|issn=1869-4101|doi=10.1007/s13244-015-0438-5|pmid=26487647}}</ref><ref name=Watt>{{cite web|url=http://www.radiologyassistant.nl/en/p431c8258e7ac3/hip-arthroplasty.html|title=Hip - Arthroplasty -Normal and abnormal imaging findings|author=Iain Watt, Susanne Boldrik, Evert van Langelaan and Robin Smithuis|website=Radiology Assistant|accessdate=2017-05-21}}</ref>
