Abstract

Surgical lengthening of the limbs is invasive, dangerous, and long-term. It is associated with high risks. Moreover, it requires a special psychological approach on the part of the patients and their families. However, it can be a reasonable option for patients with achondroplasia, not only for improving height but also improving self-esteem and quality of life.
