hemarthrosis

Hemarthrosis is bleeding into a joint. It can result from injuries, such as sprains or tears in ligaments and tendons, or from underlying hemorrhagic disorders like hemophilia. In hemophilia, recurrent bleeding into joints is a primary complication, often leading to deformities and reduced mobility. While minor injuries can trigger bleeding in those with clotting defects, spontaneous bleeding can also occur. Diagnosis involves clinical assessment and laboratory tests to identify specific clotting factor deficiencies. Treatment may include blood transfusions and, in cases of hemophilia, factor replacement therapy.123
