Brief Summary

Hemophilia is a recessive X chromosome linked genetic disorder of blood coagulation that affects about one in every ten thousand people. Hemarthrosis, which you can begin in childhood, promptly leads to degenerative changes of the articular cartilage which culminate in deformity and degenerative changes early, known as hemophilic arthropathy, which is the most common complication of hemophilia. Aside administration of clotting factor, treatment should address the degenerative changes already present in patients joints. Our objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of articular washing followed by infiltration with corticosteroids and hylan G-F 20, followed by a program of home exercises and/or academy as the previous level of hemophilia patients, in relation to pain relief, and improved function and quality of life.

Study Arms (1)

Joint lavage and viscosupplementation

EXPERIMENTAL

The joint will be washed until obtaining translucent liquid and not hemorrhagic. Then it will receive an intra-articular injection of 6ml of hyaluronic acid (Synvisc One), 1ml of triamcinolone and 2 ml of ropivacaine.

Procedure: Joint lavage and viscosupplementation

Interventions

The joint will be washed until obtaining translucent liquid and not hemorrhagic. Then it will receive an intra-articular injection of 6ml of hyaluronic acid (Synvisc One), 1ml of triamcinolone and 2 ml of ropivacaine.

Also known as: intra-articular injection
