Forrai Jenő: Radiology of haemophilic arthropathies - Haematologia 1. (Budapest, 1976)

J. Forrai RADIOLOGY OF HAEMOPHILIC ARTHROPATHIES („HAEMATOLOGIA” Series of Monographs 1) In the last ten years many new effective antihaemophilic therapeutics have been introduced. Due to these potent coagula­tion factor concentrates, the life-expect­ancy of haemophiliacs has considerably changed, more and more patients grow up and thus reach the stage of the illness when bleeding episodes decrease both in number and intensity. Unfortunately, how­ever, by this age most patients are severe­ly handicapped by progressed arthro­pathies. Hence, detailed knowledge of the exact course of haemophilic arthropathies is of paramount importance. The author presents a unique description of the X- ray morphology of haemophilic arthro­pathy based on ten years’ experience at the National Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion, Budapest. The volume includes valuable information for haematologists, rheumatologists, or­thopaedic surgeons, traumatologists, and especially for physicians engaged in the care of haemophiliacs, in the diagnostics, differential diagnostics and prognosis of this disease.
