I hate to argue with my elders, lol, but leg length “can” change, with certain medical procedures. 😉 When I was younger, I wore 33x36 in Levi’s. Now, at 58, a 35x34 fits about right. My brain is dead right now, but that procedure is a Major (something in your knee) Reconstruction, which shortens one leg a smidge. 🙂
