Ossification, Heterotopic*

Heterotopic ossification is defined as a reactive disease with mature lamellar bone formation in soft tissue. We experienced a case of heterotopicc ossification occurred on the thenar eminence and the thumb without trauma. We report this rare case with a review of the relevant literature.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the usefulness of wire fixation in displaced acetabular fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 2000 to December 2005, 19 cases of displaced acetabular fracture were treated with wire fixation. According to Letournel's classification there were 9 both column fracture, 5 transverse fracture, 3 anterior column with posterior hemitransverse and 2 T-type fracture. Only wire fixation in 13 cases and wire with plate or wire with screw fixation in 6 cases. RESULTS: We evaluate the accuracy of reduction by Matta' criteria, anatomical reduction in 12 cases, incomplete reduction in 4 cases, poor reduction in 2 cases and surgical secondary congruence in 1 case. The clinical results showed excellent in 12 cases, good in 4 cases, fair in 2 cases and poor in 1 case. The radiological results showed excellent in 10 cases, good in 4 cases, fair in 3 cases and poor in 2 cases. There were 4 cases of complication; wound infection in 1case, post-traumatic arthritis in 1 case and heterotopic ossification in 2 cases. CONCLUSION: The cerclage wiring is a preferable method in internal fixation of displaced acetabular fractures that can facilitate reduction and achieve stable fixation.

Heterotopic pregnancy in a natural cycle is rare case. This case occurs by one out of 30,000 cases of pregnancies. It is quite difficult to diagnose a heterotopic pregnancy clinically. But, recently, the availability of high-resolution sonography has improved the preoperative diagnosis rate. We present a case of spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy which was diagnosed pre-operatively by transvaginal ultrasound.

Heterotopic pregnancy or the coexistence of an intrauterine and an extrauterine pregnancy occurs in about 1 out of 30,000 pregnancies. Between assisted reproductive techniques and ovulation induction, it is said to occur more commonly with the former. The patient presented in this case is a 29 year old primigravid who underwent ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate and was later on diagnosed to have both an intrauterine and a non-viable extrauterine pregnancy. The management for this kind of pregnancy can be medical, surgical or expectant. The patient in this case was managed expectantly. This case study presents a review of literature on heterotopic pregnancy, and describes how this rare type of pregnancy developed in this index patient, how it is diagnosed and managed, and to showcase how expectant management can be a safe option for cases of heterotopic pregnancy.
