title: Synovial hypertrophy causing recurrent hemarthrosis after total knee replacement.
abstract: Recurrent hemarthrosis following total knee replacement is relatively uncommon and can result from causes that may not always be easy to diagnose. We report three patients with late-onset recurrent hemarthrosis following total knee replacement due to synovial hypertrophy and impingement, which were successfully treated by embolization.
