The occurrence of heterotopic ossification (HO) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients has been well described. A 20-year-old male with a fixed knee flexion contracture of 45 degree underwent side excision of heterotopic bone from the popliteal region 17 weeks following a TBI. This case is presented not only for being unique in the location of HO requiring excision but also to emphasize the importance of the awareness of the potential for HO formation in the TBI patient.
创伤性脑损伤(TBI)患者中异位骨化(HO)的发生已有详尽描述。一名20岁男性,膝关节固定性屈曲挛缩45度,在创伤性脑损伤17周后接受了腘窝区域异位骨的侧切手术。展示该病例不仅是因为需要切除的异位骨化部位独特,还在于强调认识到创伤性脑损伤患者发生异位骨化可能性的重要性。
