Abstract

1. The management of fractures in seven haemophiliacs and one patient with Christmas disease is described.

2. The problems of management are essentially those associated with haemorrhage into the soft tissues.

3. There is no delay in the healing of fractures, which usually occurs with a relative lack of periosteal callus.

4. The principles of transfusion therapy are discussed.
