Bilateral wrist dislocation in trisomy 21: a case report.
Ligamentous laxity is common in Trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome). The literature has numerous reports of atlanto-axial instability, patellar instability, carpal instability and other manifestations of joint instability. To date, no report has been published in the English literature describing non-traumatic unilateral or bilateral wrist dislocation either in trisomy 21 or in any other condition.
