title: [Treatment of hemophilic arthropathies by medical synoviorthesis].
abstract: The effects of medical synoviorthesis were studied by the authors in the haemophiliac. The use of radioisotopes was limited in view of the young age of the patients but a good result was achieved for the 5 elbows treated and for the 4 knees (yttrium 90) the results were 2 good, 1 fair and 1 failure. Osmic acid was injected in 44 knees. The results were good and fair in 51% of 39 knees. The results can be improved by a second injection. Synoviorthesis should be kept for joints with very few destructions because of the danger of worsening the osteocartilaginous lesions, specially with osmic acid.
