Abstract

Fractures in hemophiliacs with antibodies to factor VIII are very rare, and the presence of antibodies to factor VIII in the patient`s blood makes antihemophilic replacement therapy and operative treatment extremely difficult. We treated one case of supracondylar fracture of the humerus in hemophiliac with antibodies to factor VIII surgically and present that case with a review of the literature.
