This paper describes how patients with achondroplasia and cervicomedullary compression have an increased risk of forament magnum stenosis, and how decompression surgery has improved some of the clinical outcomes.

This paper describes the experience of a group of researchers with respiratory failure associated with neurologic symptoms and the effect of early decompression surgery of the foramen magnum on respiratory failure incidence.

Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a health issue that may occur when a bone is fractured. Since limb lengthening surgery involves cutting a piece of the bone, FES is a possible complication of this surgery. Learn more about it here.

These two publications relate to limb lengthening surgery. One is a systematic review on 18 clinical trials on limb lengthening with external fixation, while the other is a review on the progress of limb lengthening surgery since its beginning.
