[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 432561, member: 1024"] Pediatric orthopedic surgeon is best. I doubt it's Marfan' syndrome. That is usually caught fairly early because of the child's growth. Loose joints are common in young girls and is treated with physical therapy. Girls grow faster at a younger age, so their joints are looser until their growth plates come together. If the looseness continues after puberty, surgery is an option to tighten the ligaments. My doctor has done this surgery, but only in extreme cases. You might be right about it being her back pack. You might want to get her a rolling one for next year. If you have access to a pool, swimming is probably the best therapy for her. [/QUOTE]
