Abstract: Hemophilic arthropathy is the most common complication of hemophilia and is also the main factor of disability in hemophilia patients. Using high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound examination technology, the joints of hemophilia patients can be rapidly evaluated and injury grade can be established, which can provide the basis and guidance for clinical evaluation, treatment and prognosis. Standardized ultrasound operation and scoring are very important for objective evaluation of joint condition. This paper introduces the ultrasonic examination and scoring method of hemophilic arthropathy which is suitable for the clinical needs of China in detail in order to improve the consistency of ultrasonic evaluation of hemophilia centers.
