Heterotopic Ossification Prophylaxis - The Hip

  • Chapter
Book cover Radiotherapy for Non-Malignant Disorders

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

Heterotopic or ectopic ossification is a biologic process in which new bone is formed in tissues that normally do not ossify (Fig. 19.1). The etiology of this disease can be discerned in the rare hereditary form and the more frequent acquired form.
