Abstract

Heterotopic ossifications can be a complication of hip replacement and more and may influence, according to their development, the mobility of the prosthetic hip. However, there are inconsistencies between the degree of development and the degree of articular influence measured by Harris's Hip Score. We have tried to correlate the type of prosthesis, the type of approach used in hip replacement, and the development of heterotopic ossifications 1-3 years after the surgery.
