Abstract:
Bony ankylosis secondary to heterotopic ossification following total knee arthroplasty is extremely rare, and to the best of our knowledge, there has been no reported case of this in Korea. We present such a case in a 48 year-old female who underwent primary total knee replacement due to traumatic osteoarthritis.
