How common is clubfoot in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
About 12% of neonates with the Vascular Type of EDS have
clubfoot and 3% have congenital dislocation of the hips. In childhood, inguinal
hernia, pneumothorax, and recurrent joint dislocation or subluxation are common
[Pepin et al 1992]. Affected individuals often have a lifelong history of easy
bruising. http://www.geneclinics.org/profiles/eds4/
