The arthrosonography is a new depicting procedure for detection of destructing joint processes in haemophilia. A direct evaluation of the cartilage, of the border between cartilage and bone, of the synovial membrane with proliferative processes as well as the differentiation between soft-tissue bleeding and haemarthros are possible. An essential advantage is given by a combined morphological and functional joint evaluation. The diagnosis of joint instabilities can be recognized easier by sonography than by X-ray. Clinical findings are completed in an excellent manner and lesions of bone and cartilage are detected earlier by arthrosonography.
