Introduction: People with haemophilia A (PwHA) experience acute and chronic pain associated with reduced quality of life (QoL).
Aims: This post hoc analysis of pooled data from the HAVEN 1 (NCT02622321), 3 (NCT02847637), 4 (NCT03020160) and STASEY (NCT0319179) studies assessed the impact of emicizumab prophylaxis on pain-related QoL in PwHA.
Methods: PwHA received emicizumab during the four studies.

Recurrent bleeding in the synovial joint, such as the knee, can give rise to chronic synovitis and degenerative arthritis, which are major causes of morbidity. Whereas chronic arthropathy affects one-fifth of hemophiliacs, conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), periarticular and articular fractures, osteochondral autograft transplantation surgery, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury are also associated with joint bleeding. Synovial joint trauma is associated with inflammation, acute pain, bloody joint effusion, and knee instability.

Introduction: In 2019, a new fixed-bearing implant for unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) was introduced that incorporated a round-on-flat design featuring an Oxinium femoral component coupled with a highly crosslinked polyethylene bearing surface. Compared to prior implants, the design featured smaller size increments coupled with medial and lateral-specific tibial baseplates. The objective of this study is to describe our institution's early experience with this UKA implant system by evaluating survivorship, reasons for revision, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Introduction: The needs of haemophilia carriers (HC) have been historically overlooked. It is now recognised that HC manifests bleeding symptoms, including haemarthrosis. The natural history of joint health in HC is not yet defined.

Background: Hemophilia type A and B is associated with spontaneous bleeding in muscle tissues and joints. Acute hemarthrosis, representing 70-80% of all bleedings in severe hemophilia patients, is extremely painful. When surgical procedures are needed in hemophiliac patients, perioperative management should be planned with a multidisciplinary team.
