Abstract:
Heterotopic ossification is an abnormal bone formation after surgery or without any reason. Large joint, such as hip and knee joint, is a known most common site. Operation itself and postoperative early range of motion exercise are risk factors. We present a case of heterotopic ossification mimics neurogenic tumor after high tibial osteotomy.
