Summary.  This article is a review of how advances in tissue engineering can be applied to the musculoskeletal pathology of patients with haemophilia. This article will also explain the theory that the deterioration of joints in patients with haemophilia is due to biological and mechanical causes. Current concepts of tissue engineering would be to replace the degenerated and damaged tissue by live cells, using them as a biological implant. However, before these new technologies are applied, an appropriate control of their indication and results is required.
