Wikipedia Overview
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the abnormal process by which bone tissue forms outside of the skeleton in muscles and soft tissue. It forms following a traumatic injury, neurogenic injury, or genetic predisposition. The likelihood and severity of HO is linked to the severity of the injury. The most common sites of developing HO are the hip, knee, elbow and shoulder. While the exact mechanism of how HO develops is not known, it is believed to be a result of an abnormal muscle repair system, abnormal neurologic healing response below the level of injury, an abnormal inflammatory response, or a combination of them.
