The degree of joint overactivity is different, but it is quite obvious. Only a small number of patients have a tendency to have troublesome bleeding.

In the top of the scar and compression site often form a wart (soft verrucous pseudotumor). Subcutaneous calcified nodules can be palpated or radiographically diagnosed. Minor wound can cause large dehiscent wound, but less bleeding, because it is easy to tear fragile tissue during suture, wound healing is difficult.

Kyphosis occurred in 25% of patients, chest deformity in 20%, clubfoot in 5% and congenital dislocation of hip in 1%. 90% of adult patients have flatfoot.
