This study aimed to evaluate the mid-term clinical outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in management end-stage hemophilic arthropathy.Eleven patients (15 knees) undergoing TKA with stiff knees were retrospectively evaluated. was performed all without additional surgical interventions such as posterior capsular release, hamstring synovectomy, VY quadricepsplasty, or tibial tubercle osteotomy. All evaluated for and radiological results at follow-ups. Functional evaluation pain status assessed using Knee Society Score Visual Analogue Scale.The mean age time operation 40.8 ± 11.8 years (range=30-64 years). The follow-up 51.2 20.6 months (range=24-95). flexion contracture significantly decreased from 17.6 11.3 1.7 2.8 degrees, maximum increased dramatically 55.6 20.5 109.2 16.2 degrees (P < 0.001). Statistical significant improvement continued up postoperatively 18 months. 22.7 2.4 points preoperatively 87.8 3.8 last cost coagulation factor consumption blood transfusion accounted 78% cost.This has shown that is an effective treatment relieving improving both ranges motion quality life managing arthropathy joint.Level IV, Therapeutic Study.
