Abstract

Results of chemical synovectomy of knee joints with 70 per cent ethyl alcohol were analyzed in patients with hemophilia. The chemical synovectomy proved to be effective at early stages of hemophilic arthropathy and may be used in order to prevent progress of hemophilic arthropathy in patients with recurrent hemarthroses.
