Laboratory monitoring of patients with heterotopic ossification after total hip arthroplasty

Abstract

44 patients were examined after total hip arthroplasty. The examination revealed heterotopic ossification in 16 patients, the absence of pathological process was observed in 28 patients. The markers of bone tissue remodeling were determined in the blood serum of patients. The dynamics of Informative marker activity could be considered as a criterion of heterotopic ossification development estimation.
