A Biophysical Study of Posttraumatic Ectopic Ossification

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1990
Sites of ectopic ossification (EO) due to sports injury in a long-distance runner were biopsied and analyzed. The mineral content was compared to that of normal adult bone and to paraosteoarthropathy (POA) using biophysical methods. The degree of mineralization of bone tissue (DMBT) was employed as an evaluation of maturity of calcified tissue ...

Indomethacin for prevention of ectopic ossification after hip arthroplasty

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1986
Twelve patients at risk of developing postoperative para-articular ossifications were treated with indomethacin. Ossification after previous total hip arthroplasty was excised in eight patients. Four patients had ossification in the opposite hip after previous arthroplasty. Five patients in whom ectopic ossification was excised developed recurrences of

Ectopic Ossification Following Total Hip Replacement

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1973
A method to classify the degree of ectopic-bone formation about the hip following total hip arthroplasty revealed that 21 per cent of 100 consecutive patients treated by total hip arthroplasty had ectopic-bone formation about the hip of various degrees when reviewed six months following the operation.

An unusual case of ectopic ossification in a finger

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1981
A case of an unusual ectopic ossification in the distal phalanx of the left index finger in a 52-year-old man is described, and the differential diagnosis is discussed. Multiple recurrences and increasing disability eventually led to a partial amputation of the finger.

Biochemical and histological sequences of membranous ossification in ectopic site

Calcified Tissue International, 1992
Porous hydroxyapatite ceramics alone (control) and ceramics combined with rat marrow cells were implanted subcutaneously in the back of syngeneic rats and harvested 1-8 weeks after implantation. The ceramics were examined biochemically and histologically.

Ectopic ossification.

American journal of physical medicine, 1977
Ectopic ossification is a biologic process in which new bone is formed in tissues which normally do not ossify. Three cases of this disease are described. The literature on this subject has been extensively analysed and organized. Classification, etiology, clinical and radiological features and laboratory tests are discussed.

Ectopic ossification after hip arthroplasty.

Annales chirurgiae et gynaecologiae, 1978
The incidence of radiographically visible ectopic ossification around the hip joint was redorded in 145 hip joints of 132 patients treated by endoprosthetic replacement. There were 56 total hip replacements with a McKee-Farrar and 39 with a Brunswik type of endoprosthesis; in a further 50 hips the femoral head was replaced with a Moore or Thompson ...

Isolation of novel mouse genes associated with ectopic ossification by differential display method using <i>ttw</i>, a mouse model for ectopic ossification

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2001
Mouse mutant <i>ttw</i> (tiptoe walking) is an excellent model for ectopic ossification. This mutant exhibits ossification in various soft tissues, which is histologically similar to human OPLL (ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine).

Pharmacological aspect of ectopic ossification in spinal ligament tissues

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2008
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL) is an ectopic ossification in spinal ligament tissues and its progression results in serious neurological deficiencies. Although the etiology of OPLL has been extensively investigated from various standpoints, the detailed mechanism of development has not been clarified.

Ectopic ossification in the parotid gland.

Revue de laryngologie - otologie - rhinologie, 2004
We present a unique report of ectopic ossification with dystrophic calcification within an otherwise histologically normal parotid gland. The histopathological features of the case are discussed and general pathogenetic explanations for the lesion are explored.
