  • Title: Periarticular heterotopic ossification after multiple knee ligament reconstructions. A report of three cases.
    Author: Patton WC, Tew WM.
    Journal: Am J Sports Med; 2000; 28(3):398-401. PubMed ID: 10843135.
    Abstract:
    Heterotopic ossification is a frequently encountered clinical and radiographic entity. There are no previous reports in the English literature of heterotopic ossification after arthroscopically assisted ligament reconstructions for knee dislocations. Further, a link between the PCL reconstruction and posterior capsular ossification has not been heretofore recognized. Our three cases should raise the clinical awareness of such an entity.
