Study of Biomarkers in Hemophilic Arthropathy

Evaluating long term changes in molecules in hemophilia joints.

1. Approximately two teaspoons (10 ml) of blood drawn from the arm.
2. One to two teaspoons (5-10 ml) of synovial fluid drawn from the joint right before starting your regular surgical procedure. Synovial fluid is a thick, sticky lubricant present in the joint space between bones.
3. Three to four small (2-3 mm / 0.08-0.12 inches) synovial tissue samples taken before the removal of scar tissue in the joint as part of the management in the case of a hemophilic joint or fixing the tear in subjects with joint trauma.
