We report our experience of lengthening by over 30% a total of 117 lower limbs in achondroplastic patients. We have compared four methods: transverse osteotomy, oblique osteotomy, callotasis of the shaft and chondrodiatasis of the epiphysis. Chrondrodiatasis of the femur and callotasis of the tibia are the techniques which gave fewest complications.

Abstract
We report our experience of lengthening by over 30% a total of 117 lower limbs in achondroplastic patients. We have compared four methods: transverse osteotomy, oblique osteotomy, callotasis of the shaft and chondrodiatasis of the epiphysis. Chrondrodiatasis of the femur and callotasis of the tibia are the techniques which gave fewest complications.
