我们研究了50例A型血友病患者的膝关节，在常规放射学未发现任何继发性骨改变的情况下，使用超声（US）。将50名健康对照者的超声图像进行比较。这些患者的平均年龄为14.6岁。我们的结果表明，超声作为血友病初期的诊断技术，可以区分髌上积液和滑膜增厚。它也显示早期软骨受累。
We have studied the knees of 50 patients with hemophilia A, using ultrasound (US) when conventional radiology did not detect any secondary osseous changes. The sonographic images were compared with those obtained from 50 healthy controls. The mean age of this series was 14.6 years. Our results suggest that sonography as a diagnostic technique in the initial stages of hemophilia permits differentiation between suprapatellar effusion and synovial thickening. It also reveals early cartilaginous involvement.
