Intraarticular hemorrhage

Joint bleeding is common in hemophilia patients. The most common bleeding is the knee, elbow and ankle joints. Blood stasis in a patient's joint cavity can limit joint movement and temporarily lose function. For example, patients with knee joints often cannot stand and walk normally. The blood that accumulates in the joint cavity often takes several weeks to gradually be absorbed and gradually recover its function, but if the joint is repeatedly bleeding, it can cause synovitis and arthritis, cause joint deformities, and make it difficult for the function of the joint to return to normal. Therefore, many patients with hemophilia have varying degrees of disability.
