Abstract
SummaryThe peri‐operative anaesthetic management of 61 children undergoing leg lengthening procedures on 72 occasions has been analysed retrospectively. The findings are discussed and the operations performed are described. Twenty‐one anaesthetics were administered to 14 achondroplastic children with no major problems. The main challenge for the anaesthetist is the management of postoperative pain to gain the confidence of the patient whose co‐operation is vital during a protracted leg lengthening programme.
