Elhers Danlos
Elhers Danlos is a group of genetic connective tissue disorders characterized by faulty collagen production. It affects the skin, joints, blood vessels, and other organs, leading to hypermobility, joint instability, fragile skin, and easy bruising. Individuals with EDS may experience chronic pain, joint dislocations, skin problems, gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular complications, and fatigue. The severity and specific symptoms can vary widely among different types of EDS.

Bilateral Total Joint Replacement (TJR).
The patient is classified as Class III – a severe malocclusion and underbite – and suffers from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) along with hypersubluxation (excessive or abnormal joint movement or instability). To address joint mobility, she underwent two rounds of autologous blood injection, aiming to scarify the joint before she came to see Dr. Movahed. Those procedures were unsuccessful.
