The AA report a clinical and radiological study performed in 18 achondroplastic patients in order to achieve a nosological settlement of the otological impairments. They found two main otological syndromes; one, a congenital dysplasic syndrome, showing permanent conductive or sensory-neural hearing loss due to malformations of the middle ear or of the inner ear; the other, an inflammatory tubal tympanic syndrome with transient conductive hearing loss, which is relatively frequent in achondroplastic patients, but seems not related to the main disease.

Objective: To describe the characteristics of short arm deformity in patients with achondroplasia, and summarize the progress of its lenthening and reconstruction, so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: The literature on the lenthening of upper limb with achondroplastic short arm deformity at home and abroad in recent years was reviewed, and the characteristics, extension methods, postoperative management, effectiveness evaluation, and related complications of short arm deformity were summarized.
Results: Achondroplastic short arm deformity affect the patient's daily perineal hygiene activities.
Bilateral humeral lengthening and deformity correction with hexapod external fixator in an achondroplastic patient: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Achondroplasia, a prevalent skeletal dysplasia, often results in limb asymmetry and functional limitations, typically managed surgically with bone lengthening techniques.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 10-year-old girl with achondroplasia who underwent bilateral humeral lengthening using hexapod external fixators. The patient, previously treated for lower limb lengthening, exhibited significant upper limb shortening affecting daily activities.

Achondroplasia can result in many skeletal manifestations, and degenerative osteoarthritis can develop in patients with achondroplasia. Morphologic changes to both the humerus and glenoid-short humeri with patulous metaphyses and a medialized glenoid-can cause challenges that must be overcome to achieve a successful surgical result in a patient with shoulder dysfunction. Because patients with achondroplasia have near-normal life expectancies, the operative shoulder must be functional as well as quite durable in the long term.

Background: Achondroplasia is the most common form of rhizomelic dwarfism. Aside from disproportionally short extremities, frontal knee malalignments are common. We assessed the effectiveness of guided growth via tension band plates in children with achondroplasia in comparison to patients with idiopathic knee deformities using radiography.

Achondroplasia is a genetic condition characterized by skeletal dysplasia that results in characteristic craniofacial and spinal abnormalities. It is the most common form of short-limbed skeletal dysplasia. Additionally, a pregnant patient who is morbidly obese warrants specific anatomical and physiological considerations, such as a difficult airway with potential hypoxia, full stomach precautions, and a reduced functional residual capacity.
