Heterotopic ossification is a well known complication in patients after longterm coma following CNS trauma. The association of heterotopic ossification and a nerve compression syndrome situated near the calcifications is less common. The authors present 2 CNS traumatised patients who secondarily developed the association of heterotopic ossification of the elbow with a compressive syndrome of the ulnar nerve. Although heterotopic ossification does not appear to be the direct cause of the nerve compression, it certainly promotes compression it because of the flexion it causes.
异位骨化是中枢神经系统创伤后长期昏迷患者中一种众所周知的并发症。异位骨化与钙化附近的神经压迫综合征相关联的情况较少见。作者报告了2例中枢神经系统创伤患者，他们继发了肘部异位骨化与尺神经压迫综合征。尽管异位骨化似乎不是神经压迫的直接原因，但由于其导致的屈曲，肯定会加重压迫。
