Heterotopic Ossification: Cellular Basis, Symptoms, and Treatment
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the process by which calcified bone develops in soft tissues. Because of the abnormal calcification, complications such as bone deformation, loss of range of motion, and joint immobility adversely affect patients.

Genetic regulation of injury-induced heterotopic ossification in adult zebrafish
Heterotopic ossification is the inappropriate formation of bone in soft tissues of the body. It can manifest spontaneously in rare genetic conditions or as a response to injury, known as acquired heterotopic ossification.

Heterotopic ossification following acute illness: a case report
Background: Heterotopic ossification is a rare condition typified by formation of bone in extra articular soft tissue. The condition has been linked to several risk factors giving rise to its classification.
