“Which leg is longer with scoliosis?”

Everyone is different. Please have a personalized assessment of “your spine” completed.

Scoliosis can have a curvature convex to either side of the body and the presence of or lack of leg length inequality does not always contribute to the curvature. Sometimes a person can have a shorter leg on one side and the spine will shift toward the high side at the sacroiliac joint or L5-S! joint and the spine can be straight or even tilt toward the longer leg side. All cases of scoliosis need to be looked at individually to find the cause of the curvature.
I hope this info is helpful.

Take care and be well,

Your spine may look like it's curved into the shape of an S or C if the cause of your uneven hips is scoliosis. Difference in leg length. Uneven hips can make the leg on the side with the higher hip look and feel longer than the other, even though they're really the same length.

There are a lot of factors in scoliosis which can affect leg length. It is not always the same pattern for every person. Some with scoliosis have no difference in leg length.
