This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Hemarthrosis is a condition of articular bleeding, that is into the joint cavity.This can occur after an injury or, more commonly, in bleeding disorders such as hemophilia.Patients will typically present with pain, swelling and a decreased range of motion of the involved joint.Joint effusion occurs when too much fluid builds up around a joint in your body.Treatment includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), rest, ice, compression, and elevation.Healthcare provided may also recommend arthrocentesis, draining the synovial fluid from your joint.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
