Early synovectomy in haemophilia.
The Authors reviewed, after from 1 to 11 years, 28 joints of patients with A and B haemophilia operated on with synovectomy at an early stage. Investigation is made into the diagnostic elements for evaluating the earliness of arthropathy and indications for surgery. The results from early synovectomy are compared with the case histories reported in the literature when synovectomy was done at an advanced stage.
