[edit] Wow - your knowledge needed

I have just been diagnosed with ligamentous laxity - by my podiatrist. And it's actually something that has always made sense to me -- but I had never encountered the term before. A previous podiatrist simply mentioned 'ligamentous laxity' in a long list of possible causes of flat feet -- but I didn't think this applied to me.
My point is, if any of you know what type of doctor to see that has special knowledge of this condition who can give me some good feedback about it? If it means that bones are more prone to breaking, does that mean I'm at risk of osteoporosis (I'm a guy, by the way)? How is the condition specifically diagnosed? I'd love some more information.
