Abstract:
Hemorrhages in the musculoskeletal system of patients with hemophilia give rise to a number of disabilities requiring rehabilitative measures. The knee is the most commonly affected joint. Recurrent hemorrhages in the knee joint can cause arthropathy and flexion deformity. The current literature does not reveal development of genu recurvatum from repeated hemorrhages. This report presents a patient with hemophilia who developed a genu recurvatum deformity. We have discussed the clinical presentation, probable cause, and the management of the patient, and have included a brief review of the epidemiology of this deformity along with management options.
