ABSTRACT
The authors have studied the evolution of chronic synovitis and of cysts in hemophilic patients, through measurement of the articular circumference or of the cyst. To obtain this, they have used a folding rule and liquid cristal strips, that have the characteristic, that they change colours from braunish to orange, from greenish to bluish according to the thermic gradient revealed. The authors have studied 21 hemophilic patients, affected from chronic synovitis for a total of 23 articulations and 5 patients with cyst. All patients have undergone several controls reporting dates revealed at 2,6 and 12 months from beginning of disease. The authors conclude, underlining the usefulness of this simple methodic that permits - a reliable valutation of the therapeutic (profilatic) scheme applied to every single patient and gives a prognostic precision; - distinguishing, in fact, the recovery from the clinical recovery of the synovitis in order to avoid the appearance of unpleasant relapses.
