“…6. Regarding the efficacy and safety of intra-articular injections, the American College of Rheumatology Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Task Force supports US-guided procedures, given that their accuracy is superior to that of blind injections, especially when administered by inexperienced physicians [3]. A comparative analysis of US-guided vs. blind injections has shown the superiority of the former in terms of precision, efficacy, and avoidance of drug deposition in non-target tissues, such as the synovium, fatty tissue, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments [3].…”

Even in our current era of hemophilia prophylaxis, articular complications can arise and there is a growing need for strategies in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of hemophilic arthropathy, a significant contributor to disability in patients with hemophilia. One useful tool, point-of-care ultrasonography (POC-US), offers diverse diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities. This article reviews the literature on the uses of POC-US in hemophilia, including early diagnosis of joint damage, differential diagnosis of articular pain, follow-up of joint injury, and guidance for both arthrocentesis and intra-articular injection. Studies show that for patients with hemophilia, POC-US enhances diagnostic accuracy and targeted treatments. Further research is required into the most efficient use of POC-US and the training needed to develop clinicians' skills. The attributes of POC-US should be understood more fully to enable its widespread application.
