• Definition: Hemarthrosis is the presence of blood in a joint cavity, which can occur due to trauma, bleeding disorders, or other underlying conditions. In the case of M25.01, it specifically pertains to the shoulder joint.

• Swelling and pain in the shoulder joint.
• Limited range of motion due to swelling and discomfort.

• Warmth and tenderness around the affected area.

• Diagnosis: Diagnosis typically involves:

• Clinical examination to assess swelling, pain, and range of motion.

• Imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, to evaluate the extent of injury and confirm the presence of blood in the joint.

• Treatment: Management of hemarthrosis may include:

• Rest and immobilization of the shoulder joint.
• Ice application to reduce swelling.
• Aspiration of the joint to remove excess blood and relieve pressure.

• Physical therapy to restore function and strength after the acute phase.
