A 12-year-old boy is evaluated for limb length inequality. He has a history of osteomyelitis of the left distal femur that was successfully treated. He is otherwise healthy with no other past medical history. Standing full length radiographs confirm a limb length discrepancy of 20 millimeters, attributable to differences in the lengths of the femora. Radiographs of the knee show complete closure of the left distal femoral physis with no angular deformity. If left untreated, what is the projected limb length discrepancy at maturity?
