  • Title: [Periarticular ossification following severe brain injury].
    Author: Karpf PM, Lücking CH, Toyka KV, Wibowo S, Hengl W.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1977 Jun 23; 95(24):1606-8. PubMed ID: 407141.
    Abstract:
    A particular ossification should be considered besides primary neurological causes, if there are functional restrictions of the joint movements after severe head trauma. New bone formation has been seen extending from the periarticular tissue. The problems of the new bone formation in both hip-joints are shown in a patient with traumatic apallic syndrome. After exact indication and with careful and atraumatic operative technique functional restitution of the joints can be achieved without danger of recurrence.
