Abstract
Hemarthrosis after total knee arthroplasty is an uncommon condition. We present a unique case of recurrent hemarthrosis in a 93-year-old woman two years after an uneventful total knee arthroplasty and describe how we successfully treated her with selective angiographic embolization of the geniculate arteries.
