Persons with hemophilia may be crippled by hemorrhages into soft tissue, the pressure destroying nerve and muscle. Recurrent bleeding into joints produces severe arthritis with synovitis and damage to cartilage and bone. The resulting deformities, even of long standing, may be greatly lessened, so far as impairment of function is concerned, by conservative orthopedic treatment. Treatment also may slow the progress of crippling deformities.
血友病患者可能因软组织出血而致残，出血产生的压力会破坏神经和肌肉。关节反复出血会导致严重的关节炎，并伴有滑膜炎以及软骨和骨骼损伤。就功能损害而言，通过保守的矫形治疗，即使是长期存在的由此产生的畸形也可能会大大减轻。治疗还可能减缓致残性畸形的发展进程。
