Endoscopic Excision of Hip Heterotopic Ossification, Plus Indomethacin and Radiation, Is Effective in Treating and Preventing Recurrence

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of heterotopic ossification (HO) excision as well as the results of a standardized HO prophylaxis protocol among a group of patients who previously underwent open or arthroscopic hip surgery.

Methods

Patients who developed HO after index hip surgery and were subsequently treated with arthroscopic excision of HO and postoperative HO prophylaxis using 2 weeks of indomethacin and radiation were retrospectively identified. All patients were seen by a single surgeon and were treated with the same arthroscopic technique. Patients were also placed on a regimen of 2 weeks of indomethacin 50 mg and radiation therapy with 700 cGy in one fraction on the first postoperative day. Outcomes assessed included recurrence of HO
