Radiological evaluation of chronic hemophilic arthropathy by the Pettersson score: problems in correlation in adult patients

Skeletal Radiol. 1988;17(1):32-6. doi: 10.1007/BF00361453.

Abstract

This study deals with the distribution and extent of hemophilic arthropathy (HA) in 52 adult patients suffering from severe hemophilia A.
