Functional outcomes may vary over time after patellar tendon and knee intra-articular heterotopic ossification excision: A case report
Tibia nailing may contribute to the formation of HO and can lead to a restricted ROM in the knee. It is essential to diagnose HO early and consider a multidisciplinary approach that includes surgical excision, chemoprophylaxis, and physical therapy. The role of physical therapy might be more significant than previously thought.
