Where this comes from

Abstract

Recurrent hemarthrosis following total knee replacement is relatively uncommon and can result from causes that may not always be easy to diagnose. We report three patients with late-onset recurrent hemarthrosis following total knee replacement due to synovial hypertrophy and impingement, which were successfully treated by embolization.
