Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterotopic ossification of large joints, such as knees and hips, has been reported after spinal cord injury, possibly leading to decreased activity of daily living due to a limited range of motion of the affected joint. Therefore, heterotopic ossification resection is performed to improve the range of motion, but it might cause massive bleeding as a complication. METHODS In this case, the patient had a history of spinal cord injury and developed heterotopic ossification after the left hip injury. He had left hip ankylosis and could not transfer to a wheelchair by himself; therefore, heterotopic ossification resection was planned. On conducting contrast-enhanced computed tomography, the supplying arteries extending to the heterotopic ossification could be identified. A day before the surgery, embolization of the branches by interventional radiology was performed. RESULTS Heterotopic ossification resection was performed with an 820-ml blood loss. Postoperative rehabilitation was continued, and range of motion continued to improve without heterotopic ossification recurrence 2 years post-surgery. CONCLUSIONS The combination of preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography and embolization was useful in treating heterotopic ossification.

Schneider J, Maffulli N, Eschweiler J, Bell A, Hildebrand F, Migliorini F. Efficacy of ibuprofen and indomethacin as prophylaxis of heterotopic ossification: a comparative study. Sci Rep 2023; 13:20210. [PMID: 37980449 PMCID: PMC10657366 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-47508-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/20/2023] Open
Abstract
The prophylactic action of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in heterotopic ossification (HO) was first described following analgesic therapy with indomethacin. Following that evidence, several compounds have been successfully used for prophylaxes of HO. Ibuprofen has been also proposed for the prevention of HO following THA. The present study compared the administration of ibuprofen for three weeks versus indomethacin as prophylaxis for HO following primary THA. In all THA procedures, pre- and post-operative protocols were conducted in a highly standardized fashion. The type of HO prophylaxis (indomethacin 100 mg/daily or ibuprofen 100 mg/daily) was chosen according to a chronological criterion: from 2017 to 2019 indomethacin was used, whereas from 2019 to 2022 ibuprofen was administered. In case of allergy or intolerance to NSAIDs, no prophylaxis was performed, and patients were included as a control group. All patients who underwent an anteroposterior radiography of the pelvis at a minimum of 12 months following THA were considered for inclusion. On admission, the age and sex of the patients were recorded. Moreover, the causes of osteoarthritis and the date of surgery were recorded. The grade of HO was assigned by a blinded assessor who was not involved in the clinical management of the patients. The modified Brooker Staging System was used to rate the efficacy of the interventions. Data from 1248 patients were collected. 62% (767 of 1248 patients) were women. The mean age was 67.0 ± 2.9 years. The mean follow-up was 21.1 ± 10.8 months. In the ibuprofen group, 73% of patients evidenced Brooker 0, 17% Brooker I, and 10% Brooker II. In the indomethacin group, 77% of patients evidenced Brooker 0, 16% Brooker I, 6% Brooker II. No patient in the ibuprofen and indomethacin group developed Brooker III or IV. In the control group, 64% of patients evidenced Brooker 0, 21% Brooker I, 3% Brooker II, and 12% Brooker III. No patient in the control group developed Brooker IV HO. Concluding, three weeks of administration of ibuprofen demonstrated similar efficacy to indomethacin in preventing HO following primary THA. The prophylaxis with ibuprofen or indomethacin was more effective in preventing HO compared to a control group who did not receive any pharmacological prophylaxis.

Efficacy of NSAIDs versus radiotherapy for heterotopic ossification prophylaxis following total hip arthroplasty in high-risk patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Hip Int 2022; 32:576-590.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aims of this systematic review were: (1) to investigate the prophylactic effect of radiotherapy (RT) and NSAIDs in high-risk patients following total hip arthroplasty (THA); and (2) to compare the efficacy of non-selective and COX-II selective NSAIDs in preventing post-THA HO, utilising a meta-analysis of randomised control studies. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Databases were searched for articles regarding HO following THA in March 2019. Studies were included if they contained data regarding HO incidence after THA or contained data regarding HO prophylaxis comparison of NSAIDs and/or RT in terms of dosage or duration. RESULTS 24 studies reported on populations that were not at high-risk for HO. These studies reported between 47.3% and 90.4% of their patient populations had no HO formation; between 2.8% and 52.7% had mild formation; and between 0.0% and 10.4% had severe formation. A total of 13 studies reported on populations at high-risk for HO. Studies analysing RT in high-risk patients reported between 28.6% and 97.4% of patients developed no HO formation; between 1.9% and 66.7% developed mild HO formation; and between 0.0% and 11.9% developed severe HO formation. Studies analysing NSAID treatment among high-risk populations reported between 76.6% and 88.9% had no HO formation; between 11.1% and 23.4% had mild HO formation, and between 0.0% and 1.8% had severe HO formation. 9 studies were identified as randomised control trials and subsequently used for meta-analysis. The relative risk for COX-II in developing any HO after THA was not significantly different compared to non-selective NSAIDs (RR 1.00; CI, 0.801-1.256; p = 0.489). CONCLUSIONS NSAIDs prophylaxis for HO may have better efficacy than RT in high-risk patients following THA. Non-selective and COX-II selective NSAIDs have comparable efficacy in preventing HO. Factors such as medical comorbidities and side-effect profile should dictate the prophylaxis recommendation.

Abstract
Background Some patients have demonstrated evidence of heterotopic ossification (HO) following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Selective and non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used as prophylaxis for HO following THA. This meta-analysis compared selective versus non-selective NSAIDs as prophylaxis for HO following THA. Material and methods The present study was conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. All the clinical investigations comparing selective versus non-selective NSAIDs as prophylaxis for HO following THA were accessed in February 2022. An assessment of the methodological quality and statistical analyses were performed through the risk of bias summary tool of the Review Manager 5.3 software (Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen). The modified Brooker staging system was used to rate the efficacies of the interventions. Results Data from 8 studies and 1526 patients were collected. 60.8% were female. No difference was found in the sample size, mean age, and percentage of females between the two groups at baseline. No statistically significant difference was found between selective and non-selective NSAIDs in term of efficacy. 72% (1078 of 1502) of the patients were classified as Brooker 0, 21% (322 of 1502) as Brooker I, 5% (80 of 1502) as Brooker II, 1% (16 of 1502) as Brooker III, and 0.1% (2 of 1502) as Brooker IV. Conclusion Selective and non-selective NSAIDs were equally effective when used as prophylaxis for HO following THA. Level of evidence Level III, systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heterotopic ossification (HO) of the hip joint may happen accompanying skeletal muscle trauma or surgical procedures. The pharmacological prophylaxis of heterotopic ossification (HO) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is debated. AREAS COVERED This expert opinion aims to systematically investigate the efficacy of current pharmacological options as prophylaxis for HO following THA. EXPERT OPINION The current evidence identified celecoxib, naproxen, and diclofenac as best option for the prevention of HO in patients who undergo primary THA. The most appropriate pharmacotherapy for the prevention of HO is still debated and should be customized according to patients' comorbidities and medical history. For patients with cardiovascular comorbidities, naproxen, or diclofenac should be considered along with proton pump inhibitors to prevent gastrointestinal complications. For patients with history of gastrointestinal disease, celecoxib can be recommended. These conclusions must be considered within the limitations of the present investigation. Between studies, heterogeneities in the administration protocols were evident. In some RCTs, the length of the follow-up was shorter than 12 months. The current clinical practice would benefit of high-quality recommendations and the development of the shared official guidelines.

Etoricoxib is safe and effective in preventing heterotopic ossification after primary total hip arthroplasty. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:163.

Abstract
Background Heterotopic ossifications are a common complication after total hip arthroplasty. Low-dose radiation therapy and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have proven to effectively reduce the rate of heterotopic ossification after total hip arthroplasty. However, a low number of studies describe an equal efficiency of etoricoxib. This work shows first results on the examination of a larger group with 194 subjects to analyze efficiency and rate of side effects under treatment with etoricoxib. Methods Clinical examinations were performed the day before surgery and after at least 12 months. The survey of clinical and functional outcome was done with Harris Hip Score (HHS). Conventional antero-posterior radiographs and second plane in frog leg position were assessed. Results In total, 14 undesirable side effects (7.4%) and only four early terminations of therapy (2.1%) were documented. A complete 1-year follow-up examination including radiographs could be done in 143 subjects (79.4%). Only 28 subjects (19.6%) developed heterotopic ossifications from which 92.9% were classified in type 1 and 7.1% in type 2 using the method described by Brooker. The results do not show correlations with body mass index, extended treatment (more than ten days), or clinical and functional outcome (measured by “Harris Hip Score”). However, male subjects show a significantly higher rate of heterotopic ossifications. Conclusions The investigations presented in this study confirm a good efficiency of etoricoxib for the prevention of heterotopic ossifications in comparison with classical methods such as radiation or drug therapy and show a low rate of undesirable side effects.

Abstract
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultrarare congenital disease that progresses through intermittent episodes of bone formation at ectopic sites. FOP patients carry heterozygous gene point mutations in activin A receptor type I ACVR1, encoding the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type I serine/threonine kinase receptor ALK2, termed activin receptor-like kinase (ALK)2. The mutant ALK2 displays neofunctional responses to activin, a closely related BMP cytokine that normally inhibits regular bone formation. Moreover, the mutant ALK2 becomes hypersensitive to BMPs. Both these activities contribute to enhanced ALK2 signalling and endochondral bone formation in connective tissue. Being a receptor with an extracellular ligand-binding domain and intrinsic intracellular kinase activity, the mutant ALK2 is a druggable target. Although there is no approved cure for FOP yet, a number of clinical trials have been recently initiated, aiming to identify a safe and effective treatment for FOP. Among other targeted approaches, several repurposed drugs have shown promising results. In this review, we describe the molecular mechanisms underlying ALK2 mutation-induced aberrant signalling and ectopic bone formation. In addition, we recapitulate existing in vitro models to screen for novel compounds with a potential application in FOP. We summarize existing therapeutic alternatives and focus on repositioned drugs in FOP, at preclinical and clinical stages.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) have been recommended to prevent of heterotopic ossification (HO) after total hip arthroplasty (THA), but debates are still ongoing. The present Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) compared all available pathways of NSAID treatment as prophylaxis for HO after THA. The present Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted according to The PRISMA Extension Statement for Reporting of Systematic Reviews Incorporating Network Meta-analyses of Health Care Interventions guidelines. All randomized clinical trials comparing two or more interventions to prevent HO after THA were considered for analysis. HO was classified according to Brooker. The quality of the methodological assessment was performed through the risk of bias summary tool of the Review Manager Software 5.3 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen). The network meta-analysis was performed through a STATA routine for Bayesian hierarchical random-effects model analysis, with log odd ratio (LOR) effect measure. Data from 26 studies (6396 THAs; 58% females) were collected. The mean follow-up was 10.50 ± 5.7 months. ANOVA showed good comparability among mean age and gender (P > 0.5). Celecoxib demonstrated the highest rate of Brooker class 0 (LOR 6.96), followed by diclofenac (LOR 6.94). Naproxen demonstrated the lowest rate of Brooker I HO (LOR 2.82), followed by celecoxib (LOR 3.52). Celecoxib demonstrated lowest rate of Brooker class II HO (LOR 1.66), class III (LOR), and class IV (LOR 0.25). The equation for global linearity detected no statistically significant inconsistency (P > 0.5) in all the comparisons. The present Bayesian network meta-analysis encourages the use of celecoxib as a prophylaxis for HO. These conclusions must be interpreted in light of the limitations of the present study. Future investigations are required to establish more definitely the role of celecoxib.Level of Evidence: I, Bayesian network analysis of RCTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a recognized sequela after trauma and arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of celecoxib on HO. We hypothesized that celecoxib may inhibit the progression of initiated HO. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 37 patients who underwent elbow joint surgery between January 2014 and June 2018. Seventeen patients were prescribed orally administered celecoxib (200 mg/dose, twice daily) for 2 months after the diagnosis of HO, whereas the remaining 20 patients were administered celecoxib for 1 month starting immediately after surgery. HO progression was evaluated by plain radiographs. By use of an Achilles tendon puncture-induced HO mouse model, the curative effect of celecoxib was illustrated at different HO progression stages. The mice were assigned to 1 of 4 groups: sham group, vehicle group, group receiving celecoxib on day 1, and group receiving celecoxib in week 6. Achilles tendons were analyzed by micro-computed tomography and histochemistry after 12 weeks. RESULTS Celecoxib did not inhibit the progression of initiated HO in the patients in whom HO was diagnosed, whereas those who received celecoxib after surgery had lower morbidity. Achilles tendon puncture effectively induced typical HO in mice. The ectopic bone volume was significantly reduced in the day 1 celecoxib group compared with the vehicle group; however, the difference was not statistically significant in the week 6 celecoxib group. CONCLUSIONS Administration of celecoxib starting immediately after surgery can significantly inhibit the formation of HO. Once HO is visible on plain radiographs or micro-computed tomography, celecoxib cannot effectively attenuate further progression of HO in humans and mice.

Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is prevalent after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors have reduced the incidence of HO; however, to the authors' knowledge, no studies have reported the incidence and severity of HO with a pain protocol highlighted by celecoxib in the pre- and postoperative period with a posterolateral approach. Between October 2014 and October 2015, a retrospective study was conducted of 687 consecutive primary THAs with minimum 1-year follow-up performed between January 2009 and December 2013. All patients underwent a posterolateral THA with a multimodal pain protocol consisting of preoperative celecoxib; local steroid infiltration intraoperatively; postoperative celecoxib, dexamethasone, and ketorolac; and aspirin or warfarin thromboprophylaxis. For all patients, pre- and postoperative radiographs were examined and classified for HO using the Brooker classification. Interobserver reliability was calculated for both incidence of HO and Brooker classification. Overall, HO was present around 98 (14.3%) THAs. The incidence of Brooker I, II, and III HO was 38 (5.5%), 47 (6.8%), and 12 (1.7%), respectively. No patients required surgical excision or had radiographic evidence of Brooker IV HO. Multivariate logistic regression identified male sex and hypertrophic osteoarthritis as significant risk factors. The use of aspirin for thromboprophylaxis significantly reduced the incidence of HO. This study found the overall incidence of HO when using celecoxib during a posterior THA to be 14.3%, which is similar to what others have reported with the direct lateral approach and with other COX-2 inhibitors for a posterior approach. Risk factors include male sex and preoperative hypertrophic osteoarthritis. [Orthopedics. 2018; 41(1):e92-e97.].

Mercuri LG, Saltzman BM. Acquired heterotopic ossification of the temporomandibular joint. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2017; 46:1562-1568. [PMID: 28711310 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2017.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2017] [Revised: 06/07/2017] [Accepted: 06/21/2017] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
Although the risk factors and diagnosis of heterotopic ossification (HO) are discussed in the orthopedics literature, the etiology of HO, as well as its prevention and management, remain theoretical. Furthermore, there is a lack of information in the literature regarding HO in temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR). This article provides a qualitative review of information relative to the etiology, diagnosis, and management of HO to inform and encourage further investigation in TMJR. The orthopedic HO literature considered for this qualitative review was drawn from a comprehensive examination of the subject published previously by one of the authors. Using the key words "heterotopic ossification" or "heterotopic bone", citations in the PubMed database from both the dental and oral and maxillofacial surgery literature were reviewed. Based on this, it appears that the etiology, diagnosis, imaging, laboratory testing, risk factors, prophylaxis, and non-surgical and surgical options available for the management of TMJR-related HO are similar to those for orthopedic HO, but further elucidation is required for TMJR. There is a lack of published information in the literature on TMJR. Therefore, using the literature from this review as a foundation, studies should be developed and reported so that alloplastic TMJ surgeons have evidence-based protocols that will lead to the early detection and potential prevention of HO.

Abstract
Aims We aimed to assess the influence of ethnicity on the incidence of heterotopic ossification (HO) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patients and Methods We studied the six-month post-operative anteroposterior radiographs of 1449 consecutive primary THAs (1324 patients) and retrospectively graded them for the presence of HO, using the Brooker Classification. Results Based on multivariate analysis, African-American ethnicity was an independent risk factor for HO formation following THA with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.6 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3 to 5.2, p = 0.007) for severe HO and 1.9 (95% CI 1.3 to 2.7, p < 0.001) for any grade of HO. Conclusion Given the increased risk of HO formation, particularly high grade HO, and the potentially poorer outcomes associated with HO, it is important to consider using prophylaxis against HO in patients of African-American ethnicity undergoing THA. Take home message: African Americans are at an increased risk for developing heterotopic ossification and thus may benefit from HO prophylaxis. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:761–6.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated whether etoricoxib (COX-II blocker) has a superior efficacy of preventing heterotopic ossification (HO) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) compared to diclofenac (non-selective NSAID). METHODS One hundred patients were included (50 in each group) in this single centre, prospective, double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial. Etoricoxib (90 mg) was administered once and diclofenac (75 mg) twice per day for a perioperative period of nine days. The incidence of HO was evaluated on radiographs of the pelvis six months after surgery. RESULTS Eighty nine of 100 (89 %) patients could be analysed. The overall HO incidence was 37.8 %. There was no significant difference between both study groups. Twelve patients (27.3 %) of the DIC group and 13 patients (28.9 %) of the ETO group showed Brooker grade I ossifications. Five patients (11.4 %) of the DIC and four patients of the ETO (8.9 %) group showed grade II HO formations. No class III or IV HO formations occured in both groups. Ad hoc analysis detected a negative correlation between HO incidence and limited abduction and internal rotation of the hip. CONCLUSIONS Etoricoxib and diclofenac are equally effective for oral HO prophylaxis after primary cementless THA when given for nine peri-operative days to ensure a full recovery and high patient satisfaction.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the prevalence of heterotopic ossification following direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty compared to posterior approach, performed by a single surgeon at one institution METHODS All primary THAs performed by the senior author (JEL) over a 70-month period were reviewed, including 235 DAA and 120 posterior THAs. Brooker's system was used to grade HO at a minimum of six months follow-up. RESULTS Patients undergoing DAA were less likely to develop clinically significant HO compared to posterior THA (p = 0.04). The overall incidence of HO following DAA THA was 24.3 % (3 % grade 3 and 0 % grade 4), and following posterior THA was 27.5 % (4.2 % grade 3 and 3.3 % grade 4). CONCLUSIONS Lower rates of clinically significant (Brooker grade 3 and 4) HO were observed in DAA THA than in posterior approach THA. This data may be instructive when approaching THA candidates with conditions that predispose them to HO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elbow osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative condition which in the advanced stage can severely impair joint mobility. Conservative treatment remains the first choice; surgery should be considered in case of failure in patients prepared to adhere to a demanding rehabilitation protocol. We assess the effectiveness of arthroscopic joint debridement and capsular release in a series of patients with primary and post-traumatic elbow arthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight subjects (40 males, eight females; mean age 48 years) with a preoperative diagnosis of primary (19, 40 %) or post-traumatic OA (29, 60 %) were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 44 months. Outcome measures were active range of motion (ROM), pain score, Oxford elbow score (OES), and Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS). OA severity was graded into three classes (I-III) based on X-ray findings. Statistical significance was set at 5 %. RESULTS At the final follow-up evaluation, active flexion/extension increased significantly (p < 0.01); pronation and supination improved, but the difference was not significant (p > 0.05). The pain score improved from 7.2 to 4.3 (p < 0.01). Both OES and MEPS improved significantly (p < 0.001). Patients with post-traumatic OA had better ROM (p = 0.0391) and clinical scores (OES, p = 0.011; MEPS, p = 0.010). ROM and clinical scores were lower but not significantly so in class II than in class I patients. A smooth coronoid and olecranon fossa was found in 38 (79 %) patients and a preserved ulnotrochlear joint space in 40 (80 %). CONCLUSIONS Elbow OA has become more common as a result of earlier diagnosis and an increased number of acute injuries involving the joint. Arthroscopy is an effective technique to treat OA which provides the best results with the correct indications. Prospective studies are needed to help develop guidelines enabling selection of the best treatment option.

Abstract
➤ Heterotopic ossification occurs most commonly after joint arthroplasty, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, blast trauma, elbow and acetabular fractures, and thermal injury.➤ The conversion of progenitor cells to osteogenic precursor cells as a result of cell-mediated interactions with the local tissue environment is affected by oxygen tension, pH, availability of micronutrients, and mechanical stimuli, and leads to heterotopic ossification.➤ Radiation and certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications are important methods of prophylaxis against heterotopic ossification.➤ Well-planned surgical excision can improve patient outcomes regardless of the joint involved or the initial cause of injury.➤ Future therapeutic strategies are focused on targeted inhibition of local factors and signaling pathways that catalyze ectopic bone formation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heterotopic ossification (HO) after THA can lead to pain, impaired range of motion and possibly revision surgery. This article summarizes current literature on the pathogenesis of HO in THA and trauma. Second, it presents the results of a survey on prophylactic concepts for HO in Germany. MATERIALS AND METHODS A narrative literature review was conducted by searching three databases (Pubmed, ScienceDirect, the Cochrane library) on the aetiology of HO. Between 2013 and 2014, a questionnaire was sent to 119 orthopaedic and trauma surgery departments in Germany. RESULTS The acquired form of HO seems to develop after tissue trauma, which induces a local inflammation. A change in tissue conditions, multiple signalling pathways and involvement of several different cell types seem to promote enchondral ossification and finally HO formation. The feed back rate of the survey was 67%. Eighty-seven percent of all departments currently administer NSAIDs with a mean time span of 3 weeks after surgery for oral prophylaxis. Prophylactic perioperative irradiation is performed in 64% of trauma/orthopaedic departments if the patient is at risk for HO with a mean dosage of 7 Gy. CONCLUSIONS Basic research detected new pathways and cell signalling mechanisms of HO pathogenesis, which could offer new treatment and prophylaxis options in the near future. So far, there is no uniform strategy for the clinical prophylaxis of HO in THA. Guidelines and new clinical trials need to be developed to further reduce HO rates in THA.

Abstract
Few studies about how heterotopic ossification (HO) affects functional outcome after metal-on-metal total hip resurfacing (MOMHR) have been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and clinical significance of HO after MOMHR. We retrospectively reviewed 122 consecutive patients, who underwent MOMHR from June 2006 to October 2008, with adequate follow-up information. All patients had four weeks of aspirin (325 mg twice a day) for DVT prophylaxis and two weeks of celecoxib (400 mg once a day) for pain control. All data were collected prospectively including radiographs and functional scores preoperatively, at three months and at one year postoperatively. An independent musculoskeletal radiologist, using the Brooker classification, reviewed radiographs. Unbalanced ANOVA analyses were performed to evaluate the effect of HO on outcome. The overall incidence of HO at three months was 62.1% (grade 1: 39.8%, grade 2: 20.4%, grade 3: 1.9%) and 75% at one year (grade 1: 41.7%, grade 2: 27.8%, grade 3: 5.5%). There were no significant differences in the functional status scores among Brooker grade 0 to 3 groups at three months and one year follow-up. The incidence of HO after MOMHR was 62.1% at three months and 75% at one year despite a post-operative regimen of aspirin and celecoxib. We found no evidence that predominantly Brooker grade 1 or 2 HO affected the clinical outcome at three months or one year when compared across all Brooker classes of patients.
