BACKGROUND Even though heterotopic ossification (HO) is most often asymptomatic in patients after total hip replacement (THR), it remains a serious problem in orthopaedics as it is observed in nearly all operated patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The article presents a pre- and post-operative retrospective analysis of heterotopic ossification based on radiographic evidence. The study involved 7...

background: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of autologous serum eye drop in treatment of recurrent corneal epithelial defect. m aterials and methods: fourteen patients with recurrent corneal epithelial defect were studied. autologous serum was prepared from the patients and diluted in 20% normal saline. the patients were instructed to use the autologous serum every six...

heterotopic pregnancy is a rare event in natural conception cycles. the prevalence of heterotopic pregnancy is known to be increasing in part due to more precise diagnostic techniques and widespread use of of assisted reproductive technology. a case of an incidental heterotopic pregnancy diagnosed at 10 weeks of gestational age is reported here in which laparotomy was scheduled and right salpin...

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 ran...

Heterotopic pancreatic tissue of the stomach is a rare condition. The author herein reports three cases of heterotopic pancreatic of the stomach. The three cases were found in the 8,154 gastric specimens (biopsy 6,122 cases, gastrectomy 2,032 cases) of our pathology laboratory; the frequency was 0.04%. The first case was a 57-year-old woman who presented with epigastralgia. Endoscopic examinati...

Inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease frequently cause epithelial damage in the intestine. In general, the intestinal epithelium is able to rapidly repair itself by the restitution, proliferation, and differentiation of epithelial cells when such tissue damage occurs. However, severe and continuous inflammation could disturb the intrinsic repair system, resul...

AIM To present the incidence of heterotopic ossification after the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7 (rhBMP-7) for the treatment of nonunions. METHODS Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) promote bone formation by auto-induction. Recombinant human BMP-7 in combination with bone grafts was used in 84 patients for the treatment of long bone nonunions. All patients were evaluat...
