Abstract
Background:
Benign joint hypermobility syndrome (BJHS) is a disorder due to laxity of supporting connective tissue of joints. Inguinal hernia is also proposed due to weak supporting tissue that may be a clinical presentation of a more widespread problem of connective tissue.
Materials and Methods:
In a cross-sectional study, prevalence of benign hypermobility joint syndrome (BHJS) was assessed among 100 children aged 2-12 year admitted with inguinal hernia during 2010-2011.
Results:
BJHS (Beighton score≥ 4) were detected in most of children (92%) with inguinal hernias.
Conclusion:
BHJS amongst this population was substantially greater than reported prevalence in healthy children and due to subsequent clinical significances; it is worthy to screen such patient s for BHJS.
