Abstract
A pre-meeting workshop on Long Bone Pathology in Children with Achondroplasia was held in Salzburg, Austria at the 11th International Conference on Children's Bone Health (ICCBH) 22-25 June 2024. There remains poor understanding and awareness amongst physicians managing achondroplasia of the underlying pathophysiology, radiology, natural history and orthopaedic procedures available for long bone deformities and restrictions. The structure of the workshop consisted of presentation of the results of a multinational patient survey on views of leg lengthening in achondroplasia, lectures, a debate and an interactive round table discussion. In total 150 attendees from 71 different cities and 31 countries were in attendance.
