It's a disorder where the bones are sorta like rubber; they bend easily but the bones don't dislocate or anything. They are just extra flexible.

It could be Rickets, caused by too little vitamin D.

Bones is living tissue that supplies shape and support for our bodies. A disorder is when there is something wrong with our bones. Our bones also holds minerals for out bodies . The marrow in our bones stores bloods cells as well as the development of blood cells for our bodies. We have joints to move our bones. Bones do not bend for us to move. Every bone has a joint. A joint connect each set of bones by ligaments. Ligaments are tissues of skin that connects our bones and to make them turn a certain way, we would not want a bone to turn in the wrong direction. That is why our bones don't just move in any direction. They are held in place with ligaments. We have many separate bones in our bodies. Thanks to joints we can move them in certain directions. Oh i almost forgot, we do have a few bones not connected to ligaments. They are called floating bones. Our knees are a floating bone. it is not attached to another bone. The medical term for a knee is patella. The only thing i could find on rubbery bones is Olliers disease. This is where the bone has more than needed cartilage on the long parts of the bones making them feel softer than what they are suppose to.
