Özet
Heterotopic ossification (HO), frequently encountered in patients with spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, burns and total hip arthroplasty, is the formation of new bone in periarticular soft tissues. It is less common in stroke patients. Immobilization is a major factor in the formation of HO in neurologic disorders. In addition to early diagnosis and treatment, beginning of exercise therapy in patients with limited mobility is essential to reduce morbidity related to HO. A general review of the literature and two HO cases following stroke are presented in this article.
