The most common type of dwarfism, achondroplasia is identified by short stature, a large head with a prominent forehead, a flattened nose bridge and other symptoms in the body that affect the spine or muscle tone. <\/p>\n<p>While dwarfism is a genetic disorder, 80% of children with achondroplasia get it spontaneously, meaning there is no family history but is passed on in silent DNA. In this video, you\u2019ll learn about bone growth and ossification in growth plates, common physical traits of achondroplasia, associated medical concerns and the outlook for children with this condition. <\/p>\n<p>To learn more about dwarfism and achondroplasia, visit our Orthopedics Institute:  https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/conditions-and-advice\/conditions-and-symptoms\/conditions\/achondroplasia\/?utm_source=youtube&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_campaign=slg_ortho<\/p>\n<p>For more information about achondroplasia, health concerns and medical treatments visit: https:\/\/youtu.be\/jXNmVfNioHU?si=eWtHpTRHGCAi2S6e   <\/p>\n<p>Connect with Children\u2019s Colorado:<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/childrenscolo<br \/>\nFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/childrenshospitalcolorado<br \/>\nLinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/children&#8217;s-hospital-colorado<br \/>\nWebsite: http:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i0Mfi_I1hUg\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder that prevents cartilage from developing into bone, specifically in the long bones in the arms and legs.
