Treatment of Heterotopic Ossification
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Heterotopic ossification is defined as bone formation in nonosseous tissues. Heterotopic ossification usually occurs in trauma such as fractures and surgical procedures. Heterotopic ossification of the hip, for example, is the most common complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). It can occur in as many as 53% of THA patients, and it causes postoperative disability from pain and limited range of motion (ROM) 7% of the time.1 Heterotopic ossification also is seen in neurologic disorders such as spinal cord and brain injury.

Progression of Heterotopic Ossification around the Elbow after Trauma
Background: This study addresses the null hypothesis that there is no expansion of heterotopic ossification (HO) in the elbow beyond what can be seen early on. Methods: The area of HO was measured on lateral radiographs of 38 consecutive patients that had operative treatment of HO between 2000 and 2013. Measurements from radiographs obtained between 3 to 7 weeks were compared to measurements...
متن کاملHeterotopic Ossification around the Knee after Internal Fixation of a Complex Tibial Plateau Fracture Combined with the Use of Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM): A Case Report
Demineralized bone matrix has been successfully commercialized as an alternative bone graft material that not only can function as filler but also as an osteoinductive graft. Numerous studies have confirmed its beneficial use in clinical practice. Heterotopic ossification after internal fixation combined with the use of demineralized bone matrix has not been widely reported. In this paper we de...
متن کاملIncreased Risk of Heterotopic Ossification Following Revision Hip Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Joint Infection
Purpose: To investigate whether surgery for PJI of the hip, the number of procedures and their duration contribute to risk of HO formation. Methods: 56 patients with hip PJI undergoing one-stage (10) or two-stage (46) exchange arthroplasty were matched to 112 patients undergoing revision arthroplasty for aseptic failure based on age, gender, body mass index (BMI), surgical approach (all direct...
متن کاملSurvey: trends in the prophylactic treatment and surgical management of heterotopic ossification of the elbow by U.S. academic orthopaedic surgeons
Background Complications caused by heterotopic ossification are a common concern after orthopaedic surgery of the elbow. Little effort has been directed at establishing best practices of management of heterotopic ossification in the elbow, in stark contrast to that in the hip. A survey was distributed to all orthopaedic residency programs in the United States to understand current management of...
متن کاملHeterotopic ossification following combat-related trauma.
Introduction The term heterotopic ossification refers to the aberrant formation of mature, lamellar bone in nonosseous tissue. Translated from its Greek (heteros and topos) and Latin (ossificatio) etymologic origins, heterotopic ossification can be literally defined as "bone formation in other location." The first written account of heterotopic ossification describes the treatment of symptomati...
