Lower limb arthrodeses in haemophilia

GR Houghton and RA Dickson

Sixteen severely haemophilic patients have undergone arthrodesis of one joint of the lower limb in the period 1966 to 1976. There have been nine arthrodeses of the knee and seven of the ankle. The follow-up period was from nine months to eight years. The arthrodeses were secured by internal fixation. The method was not without complications, but a satisfactory bony union resulted in all cases without further surgical intervention.
