Abstract
Hemophilia is a congenital bleeding disorder caused by the absence or decrease of clotting factor VIII (Hemophilia A) or XI (Hemophilia B). When severe, this X-linked disease results in intra-articular bleeding which can progress to joint destruction. This is known to be the most common complication of severe uncontrolled hemophilia. We present a case of arthroscopic assisted ankle arthrodesis in a young male presenting with advanced ankle hemophilic arthritis. Our case report presents a unique pathology and the successful 1-year post-operative outcome that can be accomplished through surgical intervention and a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
