The Management of Musculoskeletal Problems in the Haemophilias

The haemophilias are crippling diseases which affect about 6500 men in the UK alone. Recurrent bleeding into musculoskeletal joints leads to crippling deformities and immobility. Effective treatment of joint haemorrhages requires close co-operation between haematologists and orthopaedic surgeons. This book provides up-to-date coverage of how these two specialties can work together with patients to minimize the effects of the disorder on the musculoskeletal system.
