We present the previously unreported complication of symptomatic heterotopic ossification of the quadriceps following placement of a large-diameter Steinmann pin for the purpose of temporary skeletal traction. Following the development of distal quadriceps heterotopic bone formation in three patients, we conducted a comprehensive search of the literature using the Medline database from 1966 to the present. A variety of publications, including review articles, case reports, and randomized prospective studies, were used for the literature review. This potential complication should be considered when using a large-diameter Steinmann pin in the distal femur for skeletal traction.
我们报告了在为进行临时骨骼牵引而置入大直径斯氏针后，出现股四头肌有症状性异位骨化这一此前未报道的并发症。在3例患者出现股四头肌远端异位骨形成后，我们使用1966年至今的Medline数据库对文献进行了全面检索。各种出版物，包括综述文章、病例报告和随机前瞻性研究，都被用于文献综述。在股骨远端使用大直径斯氏针进行骨骼牵引时，应考虑到这种潜在并发症。
