Orthopaedic manifestations of the hip in haemophilia – impaction bone grafting used in revision total hip arthroplasty in a haemophilic patient

Abstract

The condition of haemophilia presents many challenges to the orthopaedic surgeon. Two such challenges include the haemophilic pseudotumour, a rare complication occurring in 1-2% of haemophiliacs, and the phenomenon of aseptic loosening of arthroplasty implants. This report presents a case involving the separate management of a pseudotumour and revision hip arthroplasty in the same hip using impaction bone grafting.
