Overview
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.
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.
X Ray
Images reflect the presence of hemarthrosis (joint effusion), synovial inflammation and hyperemia (osteoporosis and epiphyseal overgrowth), chondral erosions and subchondral resorption (osseous erosions and cysts), cartilaginous denudation (joint space narrowing), intraosseous or subperiosteal hemorrhage (pseudotumors), and osseous proliferation (sclerosis and osteophytes).
Some abnormalities of osseous shape, such as widening of the intercondylar notch, flattening of the condylar surface, or squaring of the patella, are very characteristic of chronic hemarthrosis of the knee.
