Özet

Heterotrophic ossification is the development of bone in abnormal areas like muscle tissue. Neurogenic, traumatic and congenital are just a few of the causes which vary a lot. The most significant factor affecting prognosis is prolonged immobilization. Emergency departments are places where immobile patients most frequently apply due to their varied complaints. In this report we presented an immobile patient with heterotrophic ossification and reviewed the literature. Heterotrophic ossification should be taken into consideration while assessing the possible causes of the complaints such as joint or extremity pain, restriction of movement in patients with immobilization.
