Abstrakt: In haemophilia, screening protocols in the prevention and treatment of common lesions still require unification of criteria. Patients with haemophilia seek medical consultation exclusively for two reasons: because they have requested an appointment for a routine check-up (1-2 times a year in case of severe haemophilia) or because they have developed acute bleeding that requires treatment. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of an early differential diagnosis of joint damage and to review the techniques that allow an effective evaluation. The World Federation of Haemophilia recommends the 'Primary Prophylaxis' treatment modality, and today, severe haemophilia patients adhering to that factor VIII/IX therapy have significantly reduced common injuries: haematomas, haemarthrosis, synovitis, and haemophilic arthropathy. The basic protocols and minimum data for the control of musculoskeletal health are described. In summary, the primary goal of the haematologist-led multidisciplinary care team treating patients with haemophilia is likely to restore and/or preserve joint and musculoskeletal health, which is essential to promoting quality of life. Appropriate factor replacement regimens are required to prevent bleeding, these should be combined with physical activity and a physiotherapy program, in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization for the general population.
