The work presents findings of an ultrasonic examination of joints in 30 patients with hemophilia and in 15 healthy persons. Of 30 hemophilic patients 15 had hemarthroses and 15 had chronic hemorrhagic-destructive arthropathies. On the basis of the examinations carried out a conclusion was made about high informative value of sonography as a non-invasive diagnostic method and as estimation of the efficiency of treatment of hemophilic arthropathies.
