Incidence of heterotopic ossification following hip arthroscopy is low: considerations for routine prophylaxis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This scoping review aims to map and summarise the available literature on heterotopic ossification (HO) following hip arthroscopy, with particular focus on incidence, distribution as per Brooker classification, efficacy of prophylactic measures and factors that may influence the likelihood of production of HO.

Methods

A computer-based search was performed on PubMed, Embase, Emcare, Cinahl, ISI web of science and Scopus using the terms 'heterotopic ossification' and 'hip arthroscopy'. Articles reporting heterotopic ossification following hip arthroscopy for any condition were included after two-stage title/abstract and full-text screening.

Results

Of the 663 articles retrieved, 45 studies were included. The proportion of patients with HO ranged from 0 to 44%. T
