Hemarthrosis is the most frequent clinical manifestation of severe hemophilia. Recurrent hemarthroses in a joint lead to the development of anatomical changes which result, through an intermediate stage called chronic synovitis, in degenerative arthritis, an extremely disabling disease. In this review, we briefly report the main physio-pathologic, clinic and therapeutic characteristics of the hemophilic arthropathy.
