Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the abnormal formation of extra-skeletal bone in soft tissue, which can occur after trauma or surgery. HO in joints can cause pain, hinder mobility, and compress surrounding nerves and blood vessels. We present an unusual case of arterial insufficiency caused by HO in the right popliteal fossa.
异位骨化(HO)是指在软组织中异常形成骨骼外的骨组织,可发生于创伤或手术后。关节处的异位骨化会引起疼痛、阻碍活动,并压迫周围神经和血管。我们报告一例罕见的因右侧腘窝异位骨化导致动脉供血不足的病例。
