Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The landmarks used to measure leg length discrepancy are the ASIS (anterior superior iliac spine) and the medial malleolus (inner ankle bone). These are the most commonly used landmarks due to their ease of identification and standardization across individuals. The distance between these landmarks can be measured using a tape measure or radiographic imaging to determine the true leg length discrepancy.
