  • Title: Heterotopic Ossification of the Inferior Pubic Ramus.
    Author: Cheng CW, Kim SP, Francis JJ, Wetzel RJ.
    Journal: J Am Acad Orthop Surg; 2018 Jun 01; 26(11):e246-e248. PubMed ID: 29697500.
    Abstract:
    The hip is a common location for heterotopic ossification after surgical trauma, blunt trauma, or muscle injury. However, the region around the pubic rami is an unusual location for heterotopic bone formation. Here, we present a case of a young, active man in the Armed Forces Reserve with a large heterotopic bone involving the left inferior pubic ramus who underwent surgical excision through an unusual approach via the perineum. The patient had notable pain relief postoperatively and returned to his active duties 1 month after surgery without discomfort or functional limitation.
