[Hemophilic arthropathy. The therapeutic approaches in the clinical picture of hemophilia].
The ambulatory treatment of hemophilic arthropathy decreased the amount of replacement therapy with factor VIII from 3,220,000 U in 1984 to 2,217,700 U (32%) in 1988. Radioactive synovectomy diminished the number of hemarthroses in 97 per cent. Intraarticular dexamethasone reduced bleeding episodes and improved joint function in 48 per cent. These procedures for hemophilic arthropathy allowed to integrate the patient into society and diminished transfusion risks.
