Achondroplasie
摘要
Achondroplasia is the most common skeletal dysplasia. With the development of new growth-promoting drug treatment for children and adolescents with achondroplasia, multidisciplinary care has become increasingly more important. In addition to orthopedic care, a specialized team comprised of pediatrics/endocrinology, radiology, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, anesthesiology, physiotherapy, psychology and other disciplines is necessary to develop and implement a holistic concept to improve the quality of life for individuals affected by achondroplasia. The orthopedic management of achondroplasia has become even more complex and multidisciplinary due to these new medical and surgical developments. These new developments herald a new era of orthopedic and multidisciplinary care for achondroplasia.
