Self-conducted sonographic monitoring of the knee in patients with haemophilia-A feasibility study. Haemophilia 2024. [PMID: 38825768 DOI: 10.1111/hae.15056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION/AIM To evaluate whether patients with haemophilia (PwH) can be enabled to perform ultrasonography (US) of their knees without supervision according to the Haemophilia Early Arthropathy Detection with Ultrasound (HEAD-US) protocol and whether they would be able to recognize pathologies. METHODS Five PwH (mean age 29.6 years, range 20-48 years) were taught the use of a portable US device and the HEAD-US protocol. Subsequently, the patients performed US unsupervised at home three times a week for a total of 6 weeks with a reteaching after 2 weeks. All images were checked for mapping of the landmarks defined in the HEAD-US protocol by a radiologist. In a final test after the completion of the self-sonography period, participants were asked to identify scanning plane and potential pathology from US images of other PwH. RESULTS On the images of the self-performed scans, 82.7% of the possible anatomic landmarks could be identified and 67.5% of the requested images were unobjectionable, depicting 100% of the required landmarks. There was a highly significant improvement in image quality following reteaching after 2 weeks (74.80 ± 36.88% vs. 88.31 ± 19.87%, p < .001). In the final test, the participants identified the right scanning plane in 85.0% and they correctly identified pathology in 90.0% of images. CONCLUSION Appropriately trained PwH can perform the HEAD-US protocol of their knee with high quality and are capable to identify pathologic findings on these standardized images. Asynchronous tele-sonography could enable early therapy adjustment and thereby possibly reduce costs.

Current and Emerging Approaches for Pain Management in Hemophilic Arthropathy. Pain Ther 2022; 11:1-15. [PMID: 35020184 PMCID: PMC8861243 DOI: 10.1007/s40122-021-00345-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding hematological disorder characterized by the partial or complete deficiency of clotting factor VIII or IX. Hemophilic arthropathy is the consequence of repeated joint bleeding (hemarthrosis) and its management is based on the prevention of acute bleeding through the administration of the deficient clotting factor concentrate or non-factor therapies. In addition, the management of acute and chronic pain is pivotal in hemophilic arthropathy in order to restore function and allow rehabilitation of the joint.
Methods We conducted a qualitative review of the literature regarding current and emerging strategies for pain treatment in hemophilic arthropathy. This review considers systemic and local pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for acute and chronic pain management.
Results In hemophilic arthropathy, pain management is based on analgesics such as paracetamol, which represents the first choice for acute and chronic pain in adults and children, in association with opioids for adults. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit platelet function, so that the currently preferred drugs are short courses of cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors. Local treatment with intra-articular injections of corticosteroids is an option for refractory cases and physiotherapy has an important role after hemarthrosis and for the long-term management of chronic pain for both pediatric and adult patients.
Conclusions The management of pain in hemophilia requires more standardization. Meanwhile, the safest drugs should be used at the lowest effective dosage and for periods as short as possible. For the non-pharmacological management of pain in these patients, a multidisciplinary team including hematologists, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and physiotherapists is warranted.

Abstract
Introduction Physiotherapy is highly recommended for persons with haemophilia (PWH), to regain functioning after bleeding and to maintain functioning when dealing with haemophilic arthropathy. However, many PWH live too far from their Haemophilia Comprehensive Care Centre (HCCC) to receive regular treatment at their HCCC. Physiotherapists in primary care may have limited experience with a rare disease like haemophilia. Aim To explore experiences of stakeholders with primary care physiotherapy for PWH and develop recommendations to optimize physiotherapy care coordination. Methods A RAND approach was used, consisting of a Delphi procedure with e‐mailed questionnaires and a consensus meeting. Included stakeholders were PWH, physiotherapists from HCCC's and primary care physiotherapists. HCCC physiotherapists approached patients from their centre and primary care physiotherapists from their network to fill in the questionnaires. Purposive sampling was used to select participants from the survey sample for the consensus meeting. Results Ninety‐six primary care physiotherapists, 54 PWH and eight HCCC physiotherapists completed the questionnaire. Subsequently, four PWH, three primary care physiotherapists and four HCCC physiotherapists participated in the consensus meeting. The questionnaires yielded 33 recommendations, merged into a final list of 20 recommendations based on the consensus meeting. The final rank‐order consists of 13 recommendations prioritized by at least one stakeholder. Conclusion Commitment to a formal network is considered not feasible for a rare disease like haemophilia. Development of a practice guideline, easy‐accessible information and contact details, two‐way and open communication between HCCC and primary care and criteria to refer back to the HCCC are recommended.

[PMID: 33245832 DOI: 10.1111/hae.14220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2020] [Revised: 11/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Haemophilia is an X-linked inherited bleeding disorder caused by coagulation factor deficiency. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major complication associated with the disease. No study thus far has investigated the safety and efficacy of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for HCC in patients with haemophilia. AIM This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RFA for HCC in haemophilia patients. METHODS From July 2008 to June 2019, 217 patients with HCC underwent 300 RFA sessions. Of these, 18 sessions were performed in ten haemophilia patients (H group) and 282 in 207 non-haemophilia patients (NH group). The patients' characteristics, incidence of haemorrhagic complications and rates of local tumour recurrence were compared between the groups. RESULTS A majority of the haemophilia patients received clotting factor concentrate replacement therapy before and after RFA treatment, with the aim of reaching a plasma clotting factor level of higher than 60%-80%. Twelve haemorrhagic complications were observed in the NH group (4.2%; 12/282). Major bleeding requiring control procedures was observed in two patients and minor bleeding with careful observation was noted in ten patients. No bleeding complications were observed in the H group (0/18). There were no significant differences in the 5-year local tumour recurrence rates after RFA treatment between the groups (35.0% in the H group and 32.1% in the NH group). CONCLUSION RFA could be an effective and a safe method for HCC treatment in patients with haemophilia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is important to discard those practices that do not add value. As a result, several initiatives have emerged. All of them try to improve patient safety and the use of health resources. PURPOSE To present a compendium of "do not do recommendations" in the context of hemophilia. METHODS A review of the literature and current clinical guidelines has been made, based on the best evidence available to date. RESULTS The following 13 recommendations stand out: 1) Do not delay the administration of factor after trauma; 2) do not use fresh frozen plasma or cryoprecipitate; 3) do not use desmopressin in case of hematuria; 4) do not change the product in the first 50 prophylaxis exposures; 5) do not interrupt immunotolerance; 6) do not administer aspirin or NSAIDs; 7) do not administer intramuscular injections; 8) do not do routine radiographs of the joint in case of acute hemarthrosis; 9) Do not apply closed casts for fractures; 10) do not discourage the performance of physical activities; 11) do not deny surgery to a patient with an inhibitor; 12) do not perform instrumental deliveries in fetuses with hemophilia; 13) do not use factor IX (FIX) in patients with hemophilia B with inhibitor and a history of anaphylaxis after administration of FIX. CONCLUSION The information mentioned previously can be useful in the management of hemophilia, from different levels of care. As far as we know, this is the first initiative of this type regarding hemophilia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The research was conducted at a UK teaching hospital and Haemophilia Comprehensive Care Centre (CCC) as part of a research programme investigating physiotherapy for acute bleed management. AIM The aim of the study was to understand the perspectives of people with haemophilia (PWH) on validated outcome measures (OM) and whether these measures capture changes relevant to them whilst recovering from an acute bleed episode. METHODS Any person with haemophilia registered to the CCC who reported an acute bleed within the past 2 years was invited to participate. Semi-structured interviews or workshops (activity-focused discussions with small groups) were conducted with PWH who had received physiotherapy treatment in the previous two years. These were used to explore opinions of PWH of commonly used outcome measures. RESULTS Eight male PWH participated, mean age 61 years, ranging between 39 and 71. Seven participants had severe haemophilia A and 1 had von Willebrands. Participants described numerical rating scales of pain as abstract and expressed a preference for verbal or visual descriptors. In relation to function, the men generally found haemophilia-specific OM to be more relevant. The EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ5D-5L) and Haemophilia and Exercise Project Test Questionnaire (HEP-Test-Q) were considered as good measures due to brevity and ability to capture relevant changes promptly. CONCLUSION Participants in this study reported a preference for short OMs that allow them to reference their ability during the acute bleed episode in comparison with their normal function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic diseases, after diagnosis, involve changes that have to favour coping with the new situation. The resources used will help control, manage and adapt to the disease. The psychological aspects may be influencing how the individual faces the situation. AIM To assess whether perceptions or beliefs and illness behaviour influence the choice of coping strategies for young and adult patients with haemophilia. METHODS Multicenter cross-sectional descriptive study. We recruited 63 patients with haemophilia A and B, adolescents, young and adults, and both types of treatment. A clinical and sociodemographic data sheet, the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI), the Illness Perception Questionnaire-revised (IPQ-R) and the Illness Behaviour Questionnaire (IBQ) were used. RESULTS Patients with haemophilia use appropriate coping strategies, both cognitive and behavioural. Most of them are on-demand treatment, and despite arthropathy, they perceive good control of haemophilia. However, patients in prophylactic treatment are those employed more maladaptive coping strategies, less perception of control and hypochondriacal behaviour to the disease. The age variable may be relevant but we did not find significant differences. CONCLUSIONS Coping strategies used by patients with haemophilia are adequate. Although it is noted that the perception of the disease, its controllability or not, affects illness behaviour and consequently how coping with haemophilia. These are based on personal characteristics, cognitive and attitudinal dispositions that the individual consciously use to solve or face adverse situations. The analysis of coping styles of patients could be a tool for professionals to manage properly the disease.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to offer physiotherapists a synthesis of the main therapeutic tools available for the treatment of musculoskeletal pathologies in patients with haemophilia, according to the scientific literature. Although bleeds are recognised as no longer being a cause of death for people with haemophilia, the accompanying musculoskeletal injuries now represent the main problem associated with this disorder. There is a lack of clear guidelines to date regarding the physiotherapy treatment of these disorders. We performed a keyword searches of Pubmed, Scopus, Sciencedirect, Cochrane and PEDro databases. In total, 555 references were retrieved, of which only 55 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Publications were grouped by the main symptoms caused by haemophilia and the physiotherapy treatments available. The literature reviewed shows that physiotherapists have a range of therapeutic tools at their disposal for the treatment of the main musculoskeletal disorders suffered by patients with haemophilia. Physiotherapy interventions act upon inflammation and pain, as well as favouring the reabsorption of haematomas, preventing muscle fibrosis and joint ankylosis and recovering the joint range from prior to the lesions. Also, these interventions help prevent muscle atrophy and provide patients with the optimal physical conditions for facing the small and repetitive injuries that, over time, can have a detrimental effect on their quality of life. CONCLUSION Haemophilic patients suffer from a series of musculoskeletal disorders, which are associated with important functional disability. Physiotherapy and adapted sports are essential for decreasing disability and improving the quality of life of affected patients.

Abstract
: Early joint damage in patients with haemarthrosis often escapes diagnosis because of insufficient investigation of biomechanical changes. Arthropathy in haemophilia requires complex assessment with several tools. Considering the increased emphasis on an integrated approach to musculoskeletal (MSK) outcomes, re-evaluation of MSK assessment to address individual patient needs is warranted. To advise on the optimal use of current assessment tools and strategies for tailored MSK evaluation in patients with haemophilia. A panel of experts in haemophilic arthropathy evaluated internationally recognized assessment tools through published literature and personal expertise. Each tool was considered, scored and ranked for their utility in the clinical assessment of MSK damage. Subsequently, a patient evaluation table detailing advice on type and frequency of assessments for different patient populations was constructed. To obtain a complete MSK assessment, multiple tools must be used to ensure each criterion is evaluated. For patients with haemophilia, clinical examination of the joint, disease-specific structure/function scores, and activity/participation scores including quality of life are important, and should be performed on a regular basis according to age and clinical condition. Joint imaging is recommended in the prevention, diagnosis and follow-up of haemophilic arthropathy and should be used in conjunction with joint structure and function scores. An integrated approach to MSK assessment using combinations of tools will allow earlier management of dysfunction and may improve long-term outcomes. This approach could be used in long-term follow-up of all patients independent of age and disease stage, especially in children to prevent arthropathy.

Abstract
Physiotherapy is directed towards the movement needs and potential of individuals, providing treatment and rehabilitation to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan. Recent systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials have extended evidence for the clinical efficacy of physiotherapy interventions and rehabilitation for people with haemophilia. This narrative review synthesizes recent evidence to discuss; differentiating musculoskeletal bleeding and haemophilic arthropathy, efficacy of physiotherapy and rehabilitation for acute musculoskeletal bleeding and arthropathy, as well as monitoring musculoskeletal health. Whilst robust evidence is emerging, there is a need for more well designed randomized clinical studies with larger numbers and homogeneity of participants and collaboration of all researchers and clinicians to identify a core set of outcome measures that can be used to monitor musculoskeletal health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapy application and monitoring of patients with hemophilia A (HA) and inhibitors are challenging. In the current study, combined FVIII - bypass therapy was implemented for a cohort of severe HA patients with inhibitors. METHODS Plasma of 15 HA patients with inhibitors was spiked ex vivo with FVIII, rFVIIa, FEIBA and their combinations and thrombin generation (TG) was studied. Some patients who experienced hemarthroses or required minor surgeries were treated by a combined concomitant administration of FVIII+FEIBA as IV bolus doses. RESULTS TG spiking studies showed individual responses not correlated to inhibitor titer. Combinations of agents augmented TG as compared to any single agent, while combined FVIII+FEIBA yielded the highest TG, supporting it as a potential treatment. Following emergent successful surgery of child treated by concomitant FVIII+FEIBA, a total of 396 episodes in 7/15 patients were treated with concomitant FVIII+FEIBA. Five patients were treated for bleeding episodes only, whereas 2 were children undergoing immune tolerance induction (ITI) with FEIBA prophylaxis. Four minor surgeries were performed on FVIII+FEIBA repeated infusions. Neither thrombosis nor any other adverse events were documented. CONCLUSION A combination of FVIII+FEIBA may be effective and safe as an alternative treatment option for some high-responding inhibitor patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between hemophilia team interventions and achievement of optimal clinical outcomes remains to be elucidated. The British Columbia Hemophilia Adult Team has previously reported results of a comprehensive approach to individualize prophylaxis that has resulted in substantially reduced bleeding rates. In order to facilitate knowledge exchange and potential replication, it was important to gain a thorough understanding of the team's approach. METHODS A focus group of the British Columbia Hemophilia Adult Team was conducted to identify specific roles and processes that might be contributing to the prophylaxis regimen outcomes in this clinic. The focus group consisted of two workshops; one to describe the individual and collective roles of the clinic team in providing clinical care and guiding patients toward individualized prophylaxis; and the other to describe the patient journey from initial contact through reaching a successful engagement with the clinic. RESULTS Analysis of the results revealed team roles and processes that underpinned a shared decision-making relationship with the patient with a particular focus on supporting the patient's autonomy. Within this relationship, team focus shifts away from "adherence" toward the process whereby patients design and implement prophylaxis regimens resulting in reduction or elimination of bleeding episodes. LIMITATIONS Using the current methodology, it is not possible to demonstrate a causal link between specific team processes and improved bleeding rates in patients. CONCLUSION Through the active support of patient autonomy in all aspects of decisions related to hemophilia management, the British Columbia Hemophilia Adult Team approach de-emphasizes "adherence" as the primary goal, and focuses on a prophylaxis plan that is customized by the patient and aligned with his priorities. Adoption of this comprehensive team approach facilitates shared goals between the patient and the team that may optimize treatment adherence, but more importantly, reduce bleeding rates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The overlap in symptoms between joint bleeds and flare-ups of haemophilia arthropathy (HA) creates difficulties in differentiating between the two conditions. Diagnosis of haemarthrosis is currently empirically made based upon clinical presentations. However, no standard diagnostic criteria are available. To offer appropriate treatment, rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential. Additionally, adequate differentiation can decrease health costs significantly. AIM The aim of this study was to identify signs and symptoms to differentiate between an intra-articular joint bleed and an acute flare-up of HA in patients with haemophilia and make an initial proposal of items to include in a diagnostic criteria set. METHODS Six focus group interviews with a total of 13 patients and 15 professionals were carried out. The focus groups were structured following the Nominal Group Technique (NGT). RESULTS The most important signs and symptoms used to differentiate between joint bleeds and HA were (i) course of the symptoms, (ii) cause of the complaints, (iii) joint history, (iv) type of pain and (v) degree of impairments in range of motion. CONCLUSION This qualitative study provides insight into signs and symptoms that are currently used to differentiate between joint bleeds and flare-ups of HA. Results of this study can be used to develop a valid and standardized clinical diagnostic criteria set to differentiate between these two conditions. Further research is necessary to validate the signs and symptoms found in this study.

Abstract
Hemophilia is a hematological disorder characterized by a partial or complete deficiency of clotting factor VIII or IX. Its bleeding complications primarily affect the musculoskeletal system. Hemarthrosis is a major hemophilia-related complication, responsible for a particularly debilitating chronic arthropathy, in the long term. In addition to clotting factor concentrates, usually prescribed by the hematologist, managing acute hemarthrosis and chronic arthropathy requires a close collaboration between the orthopedic surgeon and physiotherapist. This collaboration, comprising a coagulation and musculoskeletal specialist, is key to effectively preventing hemarthrosis, managing acute joint bleeding episodes, assessing joint function, and actively treating chronic arthropathy. This paper reviews, from a practical point of view, the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment of hemarthrosis and chronic hemophilia-induced arthropathy for hematologists, orthopedic surgeons, and physiotherapists.

Abstract
Haemophilic arthropathy of the ankle causes pain and deterioration in gait, causing disability. Although some physiotherapy modalities are effective in the management of acute bleeding, the results are unknown in chronic arthropathy. Our objective was to determine the most effective physiotherapy procedures for treating the haemophilic arthropathy of the ankle and to assess the methodological quality of the studies. A systematic review was carried out in the Cochrane Database, PubMed, MEDLINE, ISI Web of Knowledge, PEDro, TESEO, and specialized journals (Haemophilia and Haematologica). It included articles with at least one group undergoing any kind of physiotherapy treatment and with pretest and posttest evaluation, published before April 2013. An analysis of variables was performed and assessed the methodological quality of studies. Five studies met the criteria for inclusion. Hydrotherapy treatments, strength training and balance strength, balance training, and sports therapy, have improved range of movement, pain, balance, and subjective physical performance. The proposed methodological analysis was not possible due to the low quality of the studies. Although the results are positive, they lack rigorous evidence on the effects of treatments. Studies are needed to establish the efficacy of the various forms of physiotherapy in the haemophilic arthropathy of the ankle.

Abstract
The increasing attention to healthcare costs and treatment efficiency has led to an increasing demand for quantitative data concerning patient and treatment characteristics in haemophilia. However, most of these data are difficult to obtain. The aim of this study was to use expert judgement elicitation (EJE) to estimate currently unavailable key parameters for treatment models in severe haemophilia A. Using a formal expert elicitation procedure, 19 international experts provided information on (i) natural bleeding frequency according to age and onset of bleeding, (ii) treatment of bleeds, (iii) time needed to control bleeding after starting secondary prophylaxis, (iv) dose requirements for secondary prophylaxis according to onset of bleeding, and (v) life-expectancy. For each parameter experts provided their quantitative estimates (median, P10, P90), which were combined using a graphical method. In addition, information was obtained concerning key decision parameters of haemophilia treatment. There was most agreement between experts regarding bleeding frequencies for patients treated on demand with an average onset of joint bleeding (1.7 years): median 12 joint bleeds per year (95% confidence interval 0.9-36) for patients ≤ 18, and 11 (0.8-61) for adult patients. Less agreement was observed concerning estimated effective dose for secondary prophylaxis in adults: median 2000 IU every other day The majority (63%) of experts expected that a single minor joint bleed could cause irreversible damage, and would accept up to three minor joint bleeds or one trauma related joint bleed annually on prophylaxis. Expert judgement elicitation allowed structured capturing of quantitative expert estimates. It generated novel data to be used in computer modelling, clinical care, and trial design.

Abstract
A bleeding child is a cause of great concern and often, panic, for parents and pediatricians alike. Causes of bleeding could be trivial or secondary to an underlying bleeding disorder or a potentially serious systemic illness. Based on etiology, they can be categorized into disorders affecting platelets or the coagulation cascade and can be inherited or acquired. A systematic approach with relevant clinical history and examination along with appropriate laboratory investigations aid in reaching the diagnosis promptly. Indication and administration of blood products including fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, random donor and single donor apheresis platelets is elaborated. Management of hemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, disseminated intravascular coagulation and bleeding in cyanotic congenital heart disease, among other causes is outlined. Role of antifibrinolytic therapy, desmopressin and recombinant factor VIIa is briefly described. The review outlines the approach to a bleeding child in the emergency room. Practical points in history, examination, investigations and management are discussed. Management in resource constraint setting of developing countries is addressed.

Advances in hemophilia care: report of two symposia at the Hemophilia 2010 World Congress. Adv Ther 2012; 29 Suppl 1:1-16.

Abstract
The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) 2010 World Congress held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in July 2010, attracted more than 4,300 participants from 106 countries. This report summarizes two symposia held during the congress. The first, titled "Emerging Co-Morbidities in the Aging Hemophilia Population: Healthcare Challenges and Treatment Opportunities," chaired by Gerry Dolan, MD, and Jussara Almeida Cruz, MD, examined the co-morbidities experienced by the aging hemophilic patient population, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, hypertension, and obesity. In addition, Bayer's products in preclinical and clinical development were reviewed, including a novel factor VIIa variant and a long-acting factor VIII molecule, i.e., one that has undergone site-specific PEGylation (attachment of polyethylene glycol [PEG] polymer chains to another molecule). The other symposium, titled "Practical Steps to Making Better Care for Hemophilia Patients a Reality," chaired by Carmen Altisent, MD, and Cesar Guerrero, RN, reviewed the steps that hemophilia caregivers can take to improve the care of their patients. Issues such as the treatment of hemarthroses, the role of the research nurse, and the management of pediatric patients transitioning to adulthood were discussed.

Abstract
In patients with haemophilia, regular replacement therapy with clotting factor concentrates (prophylaxis) is effective in preventing recurrent bleeding episodes into joints and muscles. However, despite this success, intra-articular and intramuscular bleeding is still a major clinical manifestation of the disease. Bleeding most commonly occurs in the knees, elbows, and ankles, and is often evident from early childhood. The pathogenesis of haemophilic arthropathy is multifactorial, with changes occurring in the synovium, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. Recurrent joint bleeding causes synovial proliferation and inflammation (haemophilic synovitis) that contribute to end-stage degeneration (haemophilic arthropathy); with pain and limitation of motion severely affecting patients' quality of life. If joint bleeding is not treated adequately, it tends to recur, resulting in a vicious cycle that must be broken to prevent the development of chronic synovitis and degenerative arthritis. Effective prevention and management of haemophilic arthropathy includes the use of early, aggressive prophylaxis with factor replacement therapies, as well as elective procedures, including restorative physical therapy, analgesia, aspiration, synovectomy, and orthopaedic surgery. Optimal treatment of patients with haemophilia requires a multidisciplinary team comprising a haematologist, physiotherapist, orthopaedic practitioner, rehabilitation physician, occupational therapist, psychologist, social workers, and nurses.
