Summary

Orthopedic complications can be injuries or diseases that affect the bones, muscles, and joints. Hemarthropathy is due to bleeding disorders, most commonly hemophilia, and can result in severe issues related to chronic amounts of blood in the body's joints. This causes swelling, pain, and loss of joint function. A serious barrier to treating many patients with bleeding disorders creates higher health risks and costs. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is a method that can reduce the cost of care while still offering a similar standard of care for patients.

This study intends to show that low-cost PRP can be done safely in patients with bleeding disorders, without the need for expensive equipment, while monitoring patient treatment results. Study participants will receive injections for joint conditions. Being in the study requires attending 1 to 2 in-person visits at the study clinic. Participants will also complete surveys using email, text messages, in person, and/or on the phone. Participation lasts about 6 months.

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Intra articular PRP Injection

A total of 20 joints (estimated 10-15 patients) will receive injections, performed at day 0 and 3 weeks, for a total of two injections - two injections have demonstrated superior outcomes to one, and will increase our number of injections to improve the proof of feasibility. All subjects will receive ultrasound-guided intra-articular joint injections by an experienced sports medicine provider after local anesthesia with 1% lidocaine to the extra-articular structures, namely the skin and joint capsule, to increase comfort.
