A single-centre experience of 29 total ankle replacement in haemophiliac patients: Therapeutic management, factor consumption and cost.

Introduction: In patients with haemophilia, repeated bleeding in large joints leads to chronic haemophilic arthropathy, a rare disease that can be managed surgically with ankle arthrodesis or with total ankle replacement (TAR). TAR has been reported to provide good surgical results in the medium/long-term and allow preservation of joint mobility but the medical therapeutic management of the patients has not been described.

Aim: To describe the medical therapeutic management of TAR.
