Abstract:
According to the experiences of the Malmö Haemophilia Centre, the best way to avoid recurrent joint bleedings and synovitis in haemophilic patients and to prevent progressive joint disease is prophylactic factor treatment. If prophylaxis is impracticable and also in patients with factor inhibitors, radioactive synoviorthesis seems to be a good treatment option if started early.
