Bleeding with resultant hemophilic arthropathy constitutes the largest cause of morbidity in patients with hemophilia. It results from repeated bleeding episodes in the joint and is characterized by synovial hypertrophy and cartilage and bony destruction. Hemophilic arthropathy assessment is a continually evolving process and is particularly challenging in children and young adults in whom joint disease may be missed or underestimated as obtaining serial "baseline" magnetic resonance imaging scans of multiple clinically asymptomatic or nearly asymptomatic joints may be unjustifiable and cost-ineffective. Musculoskeletal ultrasound-particularly, point-of-care musculoskeletal ultrasound-has emerged as a promising imaging modality for the early detection and management of hemophilic arthropathy, and for the evaluation of hemarthrosis and painful musculoskeletal episodes in patients with hemophilia. This review summarizes currently available data on the emerging role of this new imaging modality, its limitations, and gaps in knowledge. The review also raises unanswered questions, highlights the need for consolidated research efforts, and delineates future directions expected to advance this technology and optimize its use in this patient population.
出血并由此导致血友病性关节病是血友病患者发病的最主要原因。它源于关节反复出血发作,其特征为滑膜增生以及软骨和骨质破坏。血友病性关节病的评估是一个不断发展的过程,对于儿童和年轻人而言尤其具有挑战性,因为关节疾病可能被漏诊或低估,原因是对多个临床无症状或几乎无症状的关节进行系列“基线”磁共振成像扫描可能不合理且成本效益低。肌肉骨骼超声——尤其是床旁肌肉骨骼超声——已成为一种有前景的成像方式,可用于血友病性关节病的早期检测和管理,以及评估血友病患者的关节积血和疼痛性肌肉骨骼发作。本综述总结了关于这种新成像方式的新兴作用、其局限性和知识空白的现有数据。该综述还提出了未解答的问题,强调了整合研究工作的必要性,并描绘了有望推动这项技术发展并优化其在该患者群体中应用的未来方向。
