EVALUATION OF ACHONDROPLASIA 2 Abstract A 4-year-old female presented to the doctor office with complaints of muscle spasms when trying to run or walk.

The patient underwent a complete physical to include X-rays and bloodwork. X- rays revealed bowing of the crural bones and thicker than normal epiphyseal plates throughout the skeletal system.
