Hemophilic arthropathy of the knee: A case report with discussion on the role of imaging with review of literature

Abstract

A diverse range of clinical and radiological findings can be seen in a patient with hemophilia. Bleeding in joints and soft tissues occur either spontaneously or with minor trauma. We present images and clinical findings of hemophilic arthropathy in an 18-year-old male who presented with limping, pain, and mild swelling in the left knee joint along with a brief review of the literature.
