Troublesome heterotopic ossification after central nervous system damage: a survey of 570 surgeries.

<h4>Background</h4>Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a frequent complication after central nervous system (CNS) damage but has seldom been studied. We aimed to investigate features of HO for the first time in a large sample and the rate of early recurrence of HO in terms of the time of su...
