In severely affected haemophilic patients knee and hip arthropathy is a common problem, which can leads to considerable pain and functional deficit. Surgical management, including total knee and hip arthroplasty, can be undertaken if conservative management fails. This paper reviews the functional outcome of arthroplasty in the knee and hip, the postoperative and long-term complications, and the impact of HIV. Although complications are commonly described and the surgery is technically demanding, the results of the author of this paper and the review of the literature suggest that arthroplasty of the hip and knee can be a valuable option in the management of severe haemophilic arthropathy.
