Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO), a disabling condition of mature lamellar bone formation in soft tissues, particularly periarticular, may complicate the course of thermal injury1. Despite significant improvements in burns care, effective prevention of HO is still lacking. Epidemiological analysis of the phenomenon including optimal diagnosis approach is a preliminary condition for future therapeutic perspective. The aim of this retrospective study was to identify early risk factors for HO.
