Abstract

Benign joint hypermobility syndrome is the appearance of musculoskeletal symptoms in hypermobile individuals in the absence of systemic rheumatologically disease. To show the results of a bibliographic review on joint hypermobility and its clinical manifestations. Hypermobility can occur in several different connective tissue disorders, including Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and osteogenesis imperfect. It can also be found in certain chromosomal, genetic, and metabolic disorders. Identifying joint hypermobility on a regular basis, and JHS is not a difficult task, as long as it is part of clinical thinking, which would help to avoid its complications and diagnostic delays, which would solve a not inconsiderable measure of cases that they are regularly cared for in daily medical practice.
