Heritable Hypermobility Syndromes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Hypermobility of Joints

Abstract

The heritable hypermobility syndromes are a group of disorders in which joint laxity is a prominent feature. In some of these conditions, the loose joints predispose to a wide variety of articular complications and, despite their rarity, they are of considerable rheumatological importance.
