Caused by recurrent hemarthrosis in hemophilia A/B leading to synovitis, cartilage loss, and arthritis. Target joints: knee, ankle, elbow—recurrent bleeds produce synovial hypertrophy. Radiographic findings: squaring of patella, widened intercondylar notch, subchondral cysts. MRI: sensitive for synovial hypertrophy, hemosiderin deposition, and cartilage thinning. Treatment: prophylactic factor replacement, radiosynovectomy/arthroscopic synovectomy, arthroplasty in end‑stage.
