Mar 3rd, 2021 - Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by congenital skeletal deformities and soft tissue masses that progress into heterotopic ossification. Deformities of the great toes are distinctive an...

Feb 28th, 2021 - Heterotopic ossifications are a common complication after total hip arthroplasty. Low-dose radiation therapy and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have proven to effectively reduce the rate of heterotopic ossification after total hip arthropla...

Feb 23rd, 2021 - Heterotopic ossification of a vascular pedicle is an uncommon, but established, phenomenon occasionally seen incidentally on post-operative imaging after fibular free flap reconstruction. Symptomatic cases of pedicle ossification, however, are muc...

Feb 13th, 2021 - We report a case of heterotopic ossification formation 6 years after a revision carpal tunnel release in a 46-year-old woman, causing new-onset mixed ulnar and median nerve compression symptoms. The patient underwent excision of the heterotopic os...

Feb 5th, 2021 - Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries often occur as part of a multiligament injury pattern and can present a significant challenge to the treating surgeon. When PCL reconstruction is indicated, complications can arise in the intraoperative a...

Jan 29th, 2018 - Bone formation with rhBMP-2 is robust and beneficial, but HO-related complications are significant, and identifiable on assessment of radiculopathy symptoms and CT characteristics. DISCUSSION We identified 38 patients with a recognizable and consi.

Sep 27th, 2016 - An early finding in patients with FOP is stiffness of the neck due to associated anomalies of the cervical spine. This can precede the appearance of heterotopic ossification at that site. Deformity of the great toes, such as shortened toes and hal...

Sep 24th, 2015 - Minor complications (eg, meralgia paresthetica) resolved spontaneously. The most common complications were abductor weakness and heterotopic ossification.
