ABSTRACT
A prevalent condition that is frequently linked to joint trauma is joint hyper-laxity. The knee joint is one of the most complex and injury-prone joints in sports. The most commonly injured is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The case presented below is of a 24-year-old athlete with a past history of many sports-related injuries who is now presented with a complete tear of the ACL with hyper-laxity as a risk factor. The patient has a Beighton score of six out of nine without any other symptoms, which is suggestive of benign hyper-laxity of the joints and not hyper-laxity syndrome. Here, we emphasize that medical professionals must know the fundamental connection between hyper-laxity and musculoskeletal injuries and their proper management and rehabilitation for future prevention.
