Xeroradiographic study of haemophilic arthropathy

The results of a xeroradiographic study of 50 patients with haemophilia in various stages of severity are reported. In comparison with traditional radiographic examination, the xeroradiographic method seems preferable especially in the early stages of disease, when alterations are limited to the soft tissues and the skeletal structures are intact. The main indications and methods of further research are discussed in this preliminary report.
