Paraplegic patients presenting with a subacute limitation of hip joint mobility were subjected to serial sonographic examinations. In four patients the initial sonographic study disclosed discontinuity with fluid collection in the psoas muscle, which was diagnostic of a traumatic muscle rupture. All four patients subsequently developed sonographic and radiographic evidence of heterotopic ossification. Our findings confirm that ultrasonography is an easy and inexpensive screening method for the early diagnosis of heterotopic ossification. The sonographic results obtained in these four paraplegic patients are indicative of a possible traumatic origin of heterotopic ossification around the hip.
对出现髋关节活动度亚急性受限的截瘫患者进行了系列超声检查。4例患者的初始超声检查显示腰大肌连续性中断并伴有液体积聚，这诊断为创伤性肌肉破裂。所有4例患者随后均出现了异位骨化的超声和放射学证据。我们的研究结果证实，超声检查是早期诊断异位骨化的一种简便且廉价的筛查方法。这4例截瘫患者的超声检查结果表明，髋关节周围异位骨化可能起源于创伤。
