Hypochondroplasia
How is it treated?
HCH is not a curable condition and treatment will be symptomatic for specific features. Surgical limb lengthening can be considered but is a drawn out and painful process. Human growth hormone therapy has been given to some children with HCH but has shown mixed results. A range of support for families, based on perception of the effect of being of short stature at school and in the wider community, is available. Families can obtain information about aids to ameliorate difficulties in access and operation of equipment from local and national statutory and support organisations.
