Heterotopic Ossification: Cellular Basis, Symptoms, and Treatment [PDF]

, 2012
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.

Pulse low-intensity electromagnetic field as prophylaxis of heterotopic ossification in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury [PDF]

, 2009
Background/Aim. Heterotopic ossification (HO) is an important complication of head and spinal cord injuries (SCI). Pulse low-intensity electromagnetic field (PLIMF) therapy increases blood flow to an area of pain or inflammation, bringing more oxygen to ...

Heterotopic Ossification: Radiological and Pathological Review

Radiology and Oncology, 2019
Background Heterotopic Ossification (HO) is a common condition referring to ectopic bone formation in soft tissues. It has two major etiologies, acquired (more common) and genetic. The acquired form is closely related to tissue trauma.

Morphology and development of the baculum in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
This study examines the ontogenetic changes in the morphology of the penis bone in the harbour seal, focusing on the implications for sexual maturity and reproductive function. A large comparative dataset of approx. 300 genital bones from 1 year to over 20 years of age was used for analyses.

Reduction of mechanical loading in tendons induces heterotopic ossification and activation of the β-catenin signaling pathway

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2021
Background: Tendons are the force transferring tissue that enable joint movement. Excessive mechanical loading is commonly considered as a primary factor causing tendinopathy, however, an increasing body of evidence supports the hypothesis that ...

Mesenchymal VEGFA induces aberrant differentiation in heterotopic ossification

Bone Research, 2019
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a debilitating condition characterized by the pathologic formation of ectopic bone. HO occurs commonly following orthopedic surgeries, burns, and neurologic injuries.

H‐Shaped Anatomical Titanium Plate: Biomechanical Validation and Clinical Application in the Treatment of Complex Posterior Wall/Column Acetabular Fractures

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
We have developed the H‐shaped anatomical titanium plate(HTP), which can achieve anatomical reduction more safely, effectively, and rapidly while reducing complications. This study evaluates its stability and efficacy in the treatment of acetabular fractures involving the posterior column and posterior wall through biomechanical testing and clinical ...

Interorgan communication in neurogenic heterotopic ossification: the role of brain-derived extracellular vesicles

Bone Research
Brain-derived extracellular vesicles participate in interorgan communication after traumatic brain injury by transporting pathogens to initiate secondary injury. Inflammasome-related proteins encapsulated in brain-derived extracellular vesicles can cross

Heterotopic Ossification Causing Radiculopathy after Lumbar Total Disc Arthroplasty [PDF]

Asian Spine Journal, 2015
To date, no reports have presented radiculopathy secondary to heterotopic ossification following lumbar total disc arthroplasty. The authors present a previously unpublished complication of lumbar total disk arthroplasty (TDA) secondary to heterotopic ...
