Identification of Risk Factors in the Development of Heterotopic Ossification After Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a process by which bone forms abnormally in soft tissues. Known risk factors for developing HO include male sex, spinal cord injury, trauma, and surgery. We investigated additional risk factors in the development of HO after hip arthroplasty.

Methods

We performed a retrospective review of electronic medical records of 4070 individuals who underwent hip arthroplasty from September 2010 to October 2019 at the University of California, San Francisco Hospital. Demographics, anthropometrics, medications, and comorbid conditions were used in logistic regression analysis to identify factors associated with the development of HO.

Results

A total of 2541 patients underwent primary hip arthroplasty in the analyzed timeframe (46.04% men,
