Summary

Recurrent hemarthrosis after total knee arthroplasty often requires surgery. Open synovectomy effectively treated 93% of cases, with tissue entrapment being a common cause.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Recurrent hemarthrosis is a complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
  • Identifying the cause and effective treatment for post-TKA hemarthrosis is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of conservative and surgical management for recurrent hemarthrosis after TKA.
  • To investigate the causes of recurrent bleeding in TKA patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective follow-up of 30 patients with recurrent hemarthrosis post-TKA.
  • Analysis of conservative care, surgical intervention (open synovectomy), and causative factors.

Main Results:

  • Nine of 30 knees responded to conservative care.
  • Open synovectomy in 15 knees resulted in a 93% cure rate (14/15).
  • Tissue entrapment was identified in 43% of surgically treated knees.

Conclusions:

  • Open synovectomy is a highly effective treatment for recurrent hemarthrosis after TKA.
  • Synovial hyperplasia and hemosiderin deposition are common histological findings, distinct from PVNS.
