A member asked:
What are disadvantages if any of being double jointed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Joint injury: Ligamentous laxity can led to joint subluxation or dislocation without a significant injury. You need to keep the muscles around the joint strong to prevent injury. With multiple injuries you have an increased chance to develop arthritis in that joint.
