What Does It Mean To Have Iliac Crest Rotated Forward?
Lets say if the right iliac crest is rotated forward and the left side is either in normal or rotated toward back, would the top of the right iliac crest bone be higher than the left one when standing up - leading to uneven leg length and if so, which side would be the shorter leg side? Thanks Doc.

hi,
thanks for the brief history. as you are mentioning about the hiking of pelvic bone on one side. Well you need get a spine x-ray done to assess the scoliosis present. as due to shortening of muscles on one side the other side make get affected too. only getting some exercise can help you get the limb length equality and hiking of pelvic can also be reduced.
