An injured leg may appear shorter than the other due to several factors, including swelling, muscle atrophy, or changes in joint alignment following the injury. When a leg is injured, surrounding tissues can swell, which may affect the leg's overall length perception. Additionally, immobilization or disuse can lead to muscle wasting, altering the leg's appearance. In some cases, fractures or joint injuries can result in a change in bone alignment, contributing to the perceived difference in leg length.
