Heterotopic Ossification in Wartime
Wounds

LCDR Jonathan Agner Forsberg, MD,1,2 and MAJ Benjamin Kyle Potter, MD1-3
Heterotopic ossification (HO) refers to the formation of mature lamellar bone in nonosseous tissue. In thesetting of high-energy wartime extremity wounds, HO is expected to complicate up to 64% of patients,has a predilection for the residual limbs of amputees, and remains a significant source of disability.
Although the inciting events and the definitive cell(s) of origin continue to remain elusive, animal modelsand human histology samples suggest that HO formation follows a predictable sequence of eventsculminating in endochondral ossification. Primary prophylaxis is not medically or logistically practicalin most cases because patients have generally sustained massive wounds and are undergoing serialdebridements during an intercontinental aeromedical evacuation. Surgical excision of symptomaticlesions is warranted only after an appropriate trial of conservative measures and is associated withlow recurrence rates in appropriately selected patients. Future research regarding prognosticationand defining the early molecular biology of ectopic bone may permit individualized prophylaxis anddevelopment of novel targeted therapies.
