Abstract

Management of symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the ankle in patients with haemophilia can be challenging. Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis has been shown in non-haemophiliac patients to provide similar or superior rates of fusion to open ankle fusion. However, the literature regarding ankle arthrodesis in patients with haemophilia is markedly limited. The aim of this study was to compare the rate of successful fusion between open and arthroscopic assisted arthrodesis in patients with haemophilic arthropathy of the ankle.
