Osteoporosis in hemophilia: what is its importance in clinical practice?

Prevention of osteoporosis in hemophilic patients is paramount. However, it is noteworthy that there is only one publication on the treatment of osteoporosis in patients with hemophilia. Until further research is done on this topic, the existing recommendations for non-hemophilic patients should be followed. They include the use of antiresorptives (estrogens, selective estrogen receptor modulators, bisphosphonates, denosumab) and anabolic agents (teriparatide, abaloparatide, romosozumab). Further studies on the management of osteoporosis in patients with hemophilia are required.
