Well, there are multiple forms of dwarfism, and they're not simply the result of a deficiency of growth hormone. Acondroplasia is a genetic condition that affects the receptor for growth factor - supplying growth hormone would do nothing as the body of an acondroplasiastic dwarf wont receive the hormone.
