An x-ray of the joints in the case of hemophilic arthropathy may be helpful in the diagnosis of hemophilia. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of hemophilic arthropathy include synovial hypertrophy, joint effusion, cartilagenous degeneration.
An [[X-rays|x-ray]] of the [[Joint|joints]] in the case of [[Hemophilia|hemophilic]] [[arthropathy]] may be helpful in the [[diagnosis]] of hemophilia. Pettersson scoring system, designed in 1980, is widely applied for the [[classification]] of [[Bone|osteo]]-[[Cartilage|chondral]] changes of [[Hemophilia|hemophilic]] [[arthropathy]] in [[Elbow|elbows]], [[Knee|knees]], and [[Ankle|ankles]]. This scoring system is based on typical findings of [[Hemophilia|hemophilic]] [[arthropathy]] on [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior]]-[[Anatomical terms of location|anterior]] and [[lateral]] [[x-rays]]. Arnold-Hilgartner classification is also a [[Radiography|plain radiograph]] grading system for [[Hemophilia|hemophilic]] [[arthropathy]].
 
 
On knee x-ray, hemophilia is characterized by widening of the intercondylar notch, flattening of the condylar surface, or squaring of the [[patella]], are very characteristic of chronic hemarthrosis of the [[knee]].

Overview

An x-ray of the joints in the case of hemophilic arthropathy may be helpful in the diagnosis of hemophilia. Pettersson scoring system, designed in 1980, is widely applied for the classification of osteo-chondral changes of hemophilic arthropathy in elbows, knees, and ankles. This scoring system is based on typical findings of hemophilic arthropathy on posterior-anterior and lateral x-rays. Arnold-Hilgartner classification is also a plain radiograph grading system for hemophilic arthropathy.

Classification of hemophilic arthropathy according to the Pettersson score[1]

Finding Interpretation
Osteoporosis
  • Absent = 0
  • Present = 1
Enlargement of epiphysis
  • Absent = 0
  • Present = 1
Irregularity of subchondral surface
  • Absent = 0
  • Partially involved = 1
  • Totally involved = 2
Narrowing of joint space
  • Absent = 0
  • Joint space > 1 mm = 1
  • Joint space < 1 mm = 2
Subchondral cysts formation
  • Absent = 0
  • 1 cyst = 1
  • >1 cyst = 2
Erosion of joint margins
  • Absent = 0
  • Present = 1
Gross incongruence of articulating bone ends
  • Absent = 0
  • Slight = 1
  • Pronounced = 2
Joint deformity (angulation and/or displacement)
  • Absent = 0
  • Slight = 1
  • Pronounced = 2
