Achondroplasia is the most common type of skeletal dysplasia which results in marked short stature (dwarfism). Although its clinical and radiological phenotype has been described for more than 50 years, there is still much to learn about the medical problems that occur secondary to this diagnosis, how they are best diagnosed and treated, and whether prevention strategies can improve problems that can compromise the health and well-being of those affected. This review provides both an up-to-date discussion of the care needs of people with achondroplasia and an exploration of the limitations of the available evidence regarding care recommendations, the controversies that currently exist, and the many areas of ignorance that remain.
