- Abstract
The musculoskeletal manifestations of hemophilia A and B are some of the most common presenting symptoms and continue to be challenging to practitioners. Hemophilic arthropathy, if not initially adequately treated and managed, may lead to debilitating disease and eventually require the consideration of major surgery, including total joint arthroplasty. Thorough comprehension of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and both medical and surgical interventions is critical in establishing an appropriate treatment regimen for these patients. Furthermore, a true multidisciplinary approach involving hematology, orthopedics, and physical therapy is essential for a patient with hemophilic arthropathy. The authors present a comprehensive review of hemophilic arthropathy from an orthopedist's perspective. [Orthopedics. 2017; 40(6):e940-e946.].
