AB A  12-year-old  boy  presents  to  his  pediatrician  with  pain  in  his  knees  while  walking.  On  physical  examination,  he  is  noted  to  be  short,  has  hyperextensibility  of  the  skin,  and  hypermobile  joints  (Figures  224-1  and  224-2).  His  mother  mentions  that  there  are  family  members  who  have  hypermobile  joints,  and  who  have  had  problems  with  dislocation  and  sprains  of  their  joints.  The  pediatrician  makes  a  clinical  diagnosis  of  Ehlers-Danlos  Syndrome  and  orders  an  echocardiogram,  which  is  normal.
