Haemophilic elbow arthropathy treated with therapeutic arthroscopy – A haemophilia tertiary centre experience
Therapeutic arthroscopy is safe in advanced haemophilic elbow arthropathy. It shows potential benefit for function and quality of life in the short to medium term. Though there is a 33% risk of further surgery within 10 years, it should be considered an important adjunct to the multidisciplinary musculoskeletal care pathway in haemophilic elbow arthropathy, especially amongst a young patient cohort.
