Minimal trauma knee hemarthrosis.
Four patients who suffered from minimal trauma knee hemarthrosis are presented. In all patients, the cause of the hemarthrosis was not the traumatic event in itself, but an underlying clotting or collagen disorder. The necessity of interaction between the orthopaedic surgeon and a coagulation unit is stressed.
