Popis: Abstract Background Haemophilic arthropathy (HA), a common complication of haemophilia, is secondary to recurrent joint bleeding and increases the prevalence of end-stage osteoarthritis (OA). Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a reliable treatment for haemophilia patients. This study was performed to evaluate the mid-term outcomes of TKA for end-stage HA. We hypothesized that the rate of complications of TKA is higher for patients with haemophilia than for patients without haemophilia. Methods Patients with HA undergoing TKA from January 2015 to December 2016 in our centre were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were managed by a multidisciplinary team. The improvements in flexion contracture, range of motion (ROM), Knee Society Score (KSS; clinical and functional), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, and satisfaction at final follow-up were analysed to evaluate the effectiveness of TKA in HA. The complications were analysed to evaluate the safety of TKA in HA. Results Twenty-eight patients (32 knees) were included in the study. The follow-up was 69.1 ± 5.1 months. Significant differences between the preoperative and final follow-up values of flexion contracture (which changed from 21.1 ± 6.5° to 14.3 ± 4.1°, P
