Abstract

Achondroplastic patients having lengthening surgery of the lower limbs were preoperatively evaluated from psychologic, functional, vascular, and endocrinometabolic points of view. Long-term research is required to determine effects of surgical correction of achondroplasia from both psychologic and various physical points of view.
