“…Using the Beighton score to determine laxity, the authors found a relationship between scoliosis and GJL [8]. This finding is also supported by the studies conducted by other authors [3,23].…”

“…Although GJL reportedly predisposes to a number of musculoskeletal disorders [3,8,19], the evidence supporting GJL as a predisposing factor in recurrent anterior shoulder instability is conflicting [5,17].

Background A number of studies suggest a relationship between generalized joint laxity (GJL) and increased risk of some musculoskeletal injuries. However, there are conflicting data on the association between GJL and traumatic recurrent shoulder instability (RSI). Questions/purposes We therefore asked whether the incidence of GJL in patients with RSI was greater than that in a control group. Methods We preoperatively determined GJL with a Beighton score in 100 male patients arthroscopically treated for RSI. The mean age of the patients was 25 years. We identified a control group of 100 individuals, matched for age and gender, with no known history of instability of the shoulder, knees, or ankles and obtained the same score. Those patients with a Beighton score greater than six points were considered lax (representing GJL).

The primary joint hypermobility syndrome (pJH) is an overlap disorder of connective-tissue dysplasias, which incorporates features seen in the Marfan syndromes (MFS), Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), and osteogenesis imperfecta. Patients with pJH usually present arthralgia, back pain, soft-tissue lesions, recurrent joint dislocation, or subluxation. Extraarticular features may include, e. g., striae cutis, keratoconus, easy bruising, mitral valve prolapse, aortic incompetence, aneurysms, pneumothorax, hernia, urinary incontinence, and pelvic floor prolapse. Due to the high frequency of critical dissection and rupture, the early recognition of rare life-threatening complications such as dilatation of the aortic root and aneurysms is important. Therefore, patients (and their family members) with pJH should also be examined for life-threatening features seen in MFS and EDS.

“…Interestingly, this protective action of dancing appears to be in complete contradiction with the results reported by Warren et al 11 McMaster et al 16,17 believe that the increased physical activities may possibly protect against AIS by involving neuromuscular feedback mechanisms common to all joints. 21 Th e latter is considered by many 22,23 as an important risk factor for the progression of scoliosis. 21 Th e latter is considered by many 22,23 as an important risk factor for the progression of scoliosis.…”

The potential relationship between adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and sports is rather vague. Sports have often been considered to be a causative factor of, or a treatment option for the former, particularly among adolescent athletes who are engaged in certain athletic activities. The highly repetitive nature of sports, amenorrhea, exercise-related exerted stress on the immature spine of professional adolescent athletes, and the joint laxity that may coexist during adolescence, have also been associated with an increased incidence of AIS. The purpose of this article is to discuss the potential connection between sports and AIS by reviewing the existing literature.
