Outcome of Total Knee Arthroplasty in Hemophilic Arthropathy

Mid‐term outcomes and complications of total knee arthroplasty in haemophilic arthropathy: A review of consecutive 131 knees between 2006 and 2015 in a single institute

“…Stiffness is poorly defined in the literature, with resultant rates ranging from 8% to 48% . The stiffness rate was 1.5% in the present study, with average postoperative ROM of 80.9°.…”

Functional outcome of total knee arthroplasty in patients with haemophilia

“…In Westberg study, 8.7% of the patients required transfusion. In a study by Panotopoulos et al ., 12 of 45 knees with HA undergoing arthroplasty developed postoperative haemarthrosis, which required puncture . We believe administration of intra‐articular tranexamic acid in conjunction with watertight arthrotomy closure without suction drainage in our patients has led to less blood loss and alleviated the need for transfusion .…”

Perioperative management of haemophilia B: A critical appraisal of the evidence and current practices

“…Length of stay in hospital for perioperative management is not only affected by clinical characteristics (eg surgery complexity, existence of treatment complications) but can also be affected by local protocols arising from funding restrictions; ultimately, this encouragespreoperative factor dosing in outpatients and early discharge for outpatient dosing of additional doses. The appropriate use of coagulation factor products combined with regular assessments at a haemophilia (or bleeding‐disorder) comprehensive care centre, supplemented with symptomatic support (eg physiotherapy around orthopaedic surgery), was shown to assist the majority of patients in recovering from surgery …”
