hemarthrosis

Hemarthrosis is a medical condition where blood collects within a joint, such as the knee, elbow, or ankle. This usually occurs after an injury or due to bleeding disorders like hemophilia. The accumulated blood causes swelling, pain, and limited movement in the affected joint. It can also lead to joint damage if not properly treated. Managing hemarthrosis involves addressing the underlying cause, controlling bleeding, and sometimes draining the blood to relieve symptoms and prevent further joint damage.
