What caused the Heterotopic Ossification in my hip?
Patient: I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND BROKE MY PELVIS. I HAD SURGERY THE NEXT DAY. AFTER THE SURGERY THE DOCTOR SAID THAT HE DIDN T GET ALL THE BONE FRAGMENTS AND I WOULD HAVE ANOTHER SURGERY THE NEXT DAY. AFTER MY X-RAY HE SAID HE GOT ENOUGH OF THE BONE AND I DIDN T NEED THE SURGERY. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER MY X-RAYS SHOWED HETEROTOPIC OSSIFICATION IN MY HIP. COULD THE BONE HE LEFT IN ME CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN Doctor: Hetero topic ossification is known to happen in hip joint and etiology is multi factorial. It would not be possible to identify single factor causing it.
