Heterotopic ossification rates after acetabular fracture surgery are unchanged without indomethacin prophylaxis

Background We previously found no reduction in heterotopic ossification (HO) rates after
acetabular surgery with indomethacin compared with a placebo. We subsequently
abandoned routine indomethacin therapy after acetabular surgery but questioned whether
the incidence had changed using a posterior approach.
