Radiographs of the hands and feet of 72 haemophilic patients were reviewed for peripheral joint involvement. Fifty patients or 69% had changes in the small joints of their hands and/or feet with a total of 160 abnormal joints. In the hands the metacarpo-phalangeal joints were predominantly involved (42 of 50 joints), and in the feet, the metatarso-phalangeal joints (68 of 110 abnormal joints), as well as the posterior subtalar joint (36 of 110 joints). Röntgen abnormalities were characterized by irregularity and/or flattening of the articular cortices. The involvement of the small peripheral joint in haemophilic patients has not been a primary consideration in previous clinical and radiographic studies because of the more common and more debilitating changes in the large joints. The recognition of involvement of the small joints is described to avoid misinterpretation of the röntgen findings and to appreciate the incidence of involvement, especially with the increased availability of replacement therapy.
