This magazine article focuses on the social aspects of living with achondroplasia and talks about the daily lives of two children with this skeletal dysplasia. One of these children decided to undergo Ilizarov's technique, a limb lengthening surgery available as a treatment for achondroplasia. It is a long and painful process, but it can have an impact on the independence of a person of short stature.
