  • Recurring tendon ruptures

    Dear BIOMCH-L colleagues,

    Recently the following clinical problem was presented to me:

    Patient: female, 27 years old.
    Problem: multiple (8 until now) ruptures of EPB (7 repairs until
    now) without significant stressing of the tendon (first rupture
    after fall from bike).
    Examination: hypermobile joints.

    I would greatly appreciate any clues regarding possible causes of
    these recurring tendon ruptures.

    This message is spread with the full approval of the patient.
