“…It usually took from 1 to 3 weeks for the swelling to subside, and there was frequently disorganization of the joint and contracture of the muscles which led to deformity and crippling. There was no way of relieving the sequence of events, until modern treatments were introduced (Dormandy & Madgwick, 1970). There were also the episodes of internal bleeding, epistaxis, haematuria, melena and bleeding from accidental trauma and, moreover, several haemorrhages might occur in the course of a few months and, each time, the patient be forced to rest until the bleeding stopped.…”

Haemophilia, one of the oldest known genetic disorders, imposes varying degrees of disability on those affected. A survey of 137 haemophiliacs, seventy-eight adults and fifty-nine children, in the north of England was conducted to discover the extent of social, educational and employment problems created by the disease, while investigation of sixty-nine mothers of patients provided information on its impact on family life. Some problems are adequately met, others not; those of education and employment are the most serious. Educational deficiencies are due to incomplete and interrupted schooling. Choice of employment is severely restricted for them, and stability of employment is adversely affected by episodes of ill-health. But with improved methods of medical treatment the children are losing less school time than the adults did, fewer of them attend schools for the physically handicapped, and this should result in the attainment of better educational standards, and therefore more hope for permanent and satisfactory employment in the future.The birth of a haemophilic child markedly affects the family, particularly the mother, but again there is a difference in response between the present and the older generation of mothers.

Counselling guidelines for managing musculoskeletal problems in haemophilia in the 1990s

Complex medical, psychological and social factors affect how patients with haemophilia and their families respond to bleeding episodes. Prompt, adequate treatment for bleeds remains the best way to preserve optimal musculoskeletal health. Untreated and under treated bleeding episodes into muscles and joints can cause pain, deformity and severely limit the daily activities of patients with haemophilia. Viral infections over the last decade have, to some extent, diverted attention away from musculoskeletal problems. The orthopaedic contribution to haemophilia care remains important and can be enhanced through regular review clinics and developing focused approaches to identifying and addressing musculoskeletal problems.
