Abstract

Objective:To investigate the causes and preventive measures of heterotopic ossification and myositis ossificans after supracondylar fracture of humerus in children.Methods: The clinical data of 16 cases heterotopic ossification and myositis ossificans after supracondylar fracture of humerus in children were retrospectively analyzed from 2006.3 to 2010.7.Results:There were 13 cases heterotopic ossification after supracondylar fracture of humerus,their elbow joint activities were mildly limited.There were 3 cases myositis ossificans after supracondylar fracture of humerus,their elbow joint activities were obviously limited.Conclusions:Myositis ossificans usually occurs after repeated reduction and excessive violence functional exercises.The causes of heterotopic ossification is still not clear,but maybe concerned with open reduction.
