Ultrasound assessment of patellar enthesopathy in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with and without concomitant axial spondyloarthropathy

Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are connective tissue disorders characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. When spondyloarthritis (SpA), an inflammatory arthritis, co-occurs with EDS, overlapping symptoms of joint pain may arise, making diagnosis and managemen...

Description
Summary:Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are connective tissue disorders characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. When spondyloarthritis (SpA), an inflammatory arthritis, co-occurs with EDS, overlapping symptoms of joint pain may arise, making diagnosis and management challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate enthesopathic differences in the patellar tendon between patients with EDS and those with co-occurring SpA.
