Achard syndrome

Achard syndrome is a syndrome consisting of arachnodactyly, receding lower jaw, and joint laxity limited to the hands and feet. Hypermobility and subluxations of the joints, increased lateral excursion of the patellas and other findings reflect the increased ligament laxity. It is not clear if it is a distinct entity.

Symptoms

Small thumbs
Joint laxity in hands
Joint laxity in feet
Brachycephaly
