Abstract
Achondroplasia (micromelia, chondrodystrophia foetalis) has been defined as “an absence, arrest or perversion of the normal process of endochondral ossification of the most definite and universal character in every element of the skeleton, in which the process normally takes place during intrauterine life” (Symington and Thomson, 1892).Keywords
