Heterotopic ossification following severe radial head fractures: Clinical outcome and associated factors
Over 50% surgically treated radial head fractures classified as Mason-Johnston types 3 and 4 developed HO, while more severe injuries led to a higher prevalence of HO. No increased rates of HO were determined for delayed surgery, surgical treatment methods, and use of HO prophylaxis. Therefore, regular HO prophylaxis might not be needed. Additionally, no significant differences in functional scores and quality of life were detected between patients with and without HO.
