Prolonged dislocation and delay to surgery are associated with higher rates of heterotopic ossification in operatively treated terrible triad injuries

Prolonged dislocation and delay to surgery are associated with higher rates of heterotopic ossification in operatively treated terrible triad injuries

Background: Heterotopic ossification (HO) formation after complex elbow injuries can significantly impact function. Prior studies have reported a 3%-45% incidence of HO following elbow trauma in a heterogeneous cohort of fracture patterns. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of a...
