Mindy L Simpson et al. Expert Rev Hematol. 2012 Aug.

Joint bleeding is one of the greatest challenges confronting individuals treating hemophilia, and its economic impact is enormous. This article reviews the current management of hemophilic joint bleeding and discusses the potential impact of novel therapies.
