Minimal trauma knee hemarthrosis in four patients stemmed from underlying clotting or collagen disorders, not the injury itself. Orthopaedic surgeons must collaborate with coagulation specialists for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Hematology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Knee hemarthrosis, or bleeding into the knee joint, can occur following minimal trauma.
  • Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • Four cases of minimal trauma knee hemarthrosis were analyzed.
  • Patients presented with knee bleeding after minor injuries.

Findings:

  • The primary cause of hemarthrosis in these patients was not the trauma but an undiagnosed clotting or collagen disorder.
  • Underlying hemostatic abnormalities were identified as the root cause.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of investigating beyond the traumatic event for knee hemarthrosis.
