Heterotopic Ossification Rates After Acetabular Fracture Surgery Are Unchanged Without Indomethacin Prophylaxis

摘要

BackgroundWe previously found no reduction in heterotopic ossification (HO) rates after acetabular surgery with indomethacin compared with a placebo. We subsequently abandoned routine indomethacin therapy after acetabular surgery but questioned whether the incidence had changed using a posterior approach.
