Heterotopic ossifications (HO) are rare, yet, well reported complications after free flap transfer. We present a case of HO that occurred within a month, and has not been previously described in the literature. This serves as a reminder that bony hard swellings proximal to the free flap within a month should raise the suspicion of HO.
异位骨化(HO)是游离皮瓣移植术后罕见但已有充分报道的并发症。我们报告一例在一个月内发生的异位骨化病例,此前文献中未曾描述过。这提醒我们,在一个月内游离皮瓣近端出现骨性硬肿胀应怀疑异位骨化。
