“…49,174 ± 176 Moreover, intra-and post-operative fracturation of bone may occur in the case of severe osteoporosis. Stover 174 has reported intra-operative fracturation of the femoral head in 5% and post-operative (spontaneous) fracturation in 3 ± 16% of the SCI patients operated for NHO around the hip joint. Since other authors mention a higher percentage (29%) 175 of SCI patients with femoral heads too brittle to preserve during operation, the real incidence of this problem may be even higher.…”

“…172 ± 175 However, operative resection of NHO has been associated with severe complications and poor outcome. 171 These complications include deep (2 ± 5%) 174,175 or super®cial infection (7 ± 38%), 45,49,174,175 post-operative haemorrhage (5 ± 38%), 45,173 and excessive intra-operative bleeding requiring (multiple) blood transfusions (9 ± 83%). 49,174 ± 176 Moreover, intra-and post-operative fracturation of bone may occur in the case of severe osteoporosis.…”

“…1 8 Surgical resection of matured ectopic bone should be contemplated in cases where there is significant func tional limitation of joint mobility. 19 Recurrence of HO after resection though is a major concern. In this respect, it is interesting to note that the combination of indomethacin and disodium etidronate has been shown to be effective in the prevention of recurrence of HO .…”
