Background: MMII dysmetria (lower limb) is the discrepancy that exists between a lower limb and its contralateral limb. This pathology has both physical and psychological consequences, with the pediatric population being one of the most affected. Digital orthoradiography is one of the most used techniques to assess MMII inequality. Objective: Determine the relationship between lower limb dysmetria by digital orthoradiography and personal characteristics of pediatric patients at the San Juan de Dios clinic in Lima during the period 2021-2022. Material and Methods: Quantitative, basic, correlational, non-experimental retrospective cross-sectional study with a sample of 282 pediatric patients evaluated using the digital orthoradiography technique. A form verified by expert judgment was used to collect necessary information. Results: The Me of age was (8.67 IQR 7.33) with the male sex being more frequent (53%). It was found that 48.1% of the pediatric population presented discrepancies greater than 5 mm, with the age group of children from 1 to 11 years 11 months being more frequent. Conclusion: The relationship between lower limb dysmetria by digital orthoradiography was significant with age, weight, height, right and left cervicoshaft angle, right and left acetabular angle, right femorotibial angle, genus varus, hip dislocation and post hip surgery of the sample.
