Open synovectomy of the ankle joint in young haemophiliacs: mid‐term to long‐ term results of a single‐centre series of 32 procedures

Abstract

Our long-term results support that clinical scores are improved even if radiological scores progress. Open synovectomy retards the progression of the arthropathy, but not stops it. Bleeding and pain are controlled and even if recurrence of bleedings is frequent, it is less severe, less painful and requiring less factors replacement.
