title: [Fractures in hemophilia patients].
abstract: The authors give a review of the most frequent forms of hemophilia and describe the problems connected with fractures in patients suffering from hemophilia, the treatment methods and the indications for conservative or surgical therapy. The evaluation of 25 cases with hemophilia treated between 1972 and 1982 for one or more fractures shows that the primary disease does not essentially influence the healing process with the understanding that an early and sufficient substitution of the missing coagulation factors is administered. By means of a correct pretreatment (infusions of plasma or coagulation factors), we have obtained good results in most of our cases.
