Background: Intraoperative challenges and complications and their course over experience in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) applications in hemophilic arthropathy have seldom been studied. Our study aimed to analyze the learning dynamics and the evolving perspective of a single arthroplasty surgeon in hemophilic knees.

Methods: The study encompassed all primary TKAs performed on hemophilic patients by a single experienced arthroplasty surgeon from May 2002 to October 2023.
