Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a process in which unwanted and potentially disabling bone tissue forms in abnormal locations such as muscles, musculotendinous junctions, and joint capsules. It may occur after trauma and after surgery. It is well known around the elbow and hip following fracture surgery and total hip replacement.
