Core Tip

Core Tip: This patient had hemophilia for many years, with hematopathic arthritis of both knees. An old fracture of the left lower extremity had healed, a distal femur fracture had recurred, and he had malunion of fractures of the proximal tibia and fibula. We resolved the left knee hematopathic arthritis, distal femur fracture nonunion, and proximal tibia fracture malunion with a single operation of total knee replacement with custom prosthesis.
