Abstract

Heterotopic ossification is a process characterized by the formation of genuine new bone in soft tissues especially between muscle and joint capsule and frequently encountered after spinal cord and traumatic brain injury. A 35-year-old woman who had developed severe pain and decrease in range of motion in her bilateral hip after 11 months following a spinal cord injury referred to our department for bone scintigraphy is presented
