Abstract

The concept of joint microbleeding in hemophilia patients was first proposed over 10 years ago. This was based on unexpected abnormalities found in medical imaging studies of asymptomatic joints. Since then, there have been no published studies confirming the presence of joint microbleeds. This critique will review the evidence for and against joint microbleeding in hemophilia patients and the potential implications.
