Management of Recurrent Hemarthrosis Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Series Study
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a commonly performed procedure to treat knee osteoarthritis and has positive success rates. However, rarely, patients can experience recurrent hemarthrosis post TKA, leading to joint pain and reduced range of motion, hindering post-operative success. Hence, it is vital to diagnose and treat it optimally. In this paper, we aim to describe the presentation of our six cases that developed recurrent hemarthrosis post TKA, illustrate all their clinical investigations, describe their treatments, and report the outcomes. We also aim to describe our observations attained from the management of our patients and compare them with the literature.
