[The surgical treatment of haemophilic arthropathy (author's transl)].
The authors have operated on 13 haemophilic joints. The operation included 5 knee synovectomies of the knee, 2 corrective osteotomies, 4 soft tissue procedures on the knee or foot (tendon lengthening, capsulotomy), 1 arthrodesis of knee and 1 excision of heterotopic ossification. The type of operation needed varied with the degree of involvement. Indications for associated haematological treatment are given. The indications were both preventive and curative. The results were gratifying, although two cases of post-operative infection were seen.
