Hip arthropathy in patients with Haemophilia may be disabling. In early
stages a conservative treatment may be useful, as in late stages a Total Hip
Arthroplasty is indicated. During the ‘80s and ‘90s clinical outcomes after a hip
arthroplasty were variable given the use of first generation cemented implants, and the
significantly high rates of complications, as for other types of surgery. In the last
decades modern cementless implants with high performing materials and less invasive
surgical techniques have been introduced with expected improved results. Recently
several series have been reported with very satisfactory outcomes, and longer survival
rates of implants with respect to the past. A combination of multidisciplinary teams
dedicated to haemophilic subjects, the use of modern cementless implants, and less
invasive surgical approaches may represent the key to achieve good outcomes, fewer
complications, and better prosthetic survivorship in such difficult patients.
