AB Twenty-six knee arthroplasties were performed in 15 patients with
hemophilia A and human immunodeficiency virus infection from 1984 to
1991. Patient age range was 27 to 48 years. After an average follow-up
period of 6.4 years (range, 1-9 years) all patients were alive and none
of the implants had become infected. T4 lymphocyte counts showed some
deterioration, which was not clinically significant. All of the patients
were improved following surgery. Nineteen implants were rated excellent,
four good, and three fair. Infection with human immunodeficiency virus
did not adversely affect the clinical outcome of knee arthroplasty at
follow-up periods up to 9 years.
