Abstract

MORENO-BALLESTEROS, Ana et al. Heterotopic ossification after hip arthroplasty: role of bone SPECT/CT scintigraphy. Rev Osteoporos Metab Miner [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.3, pp.125-128.  Epub Mar 08, 2024. ISSN 2173-2345.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/revosteoporosmetabminer.00016.

Heterotopic ossification is a limiting condition that predominantly affects the hip. Because of its association with post-traumatic/postoperative pathology, bone SPECT/CT scintigraphy has proven to be especially useful regarding differential diagnosis involving prosthetic mobilization, even in the absence of radiological abnormalities. Additionally, it is an effective tool for surgical planning, considering the degree of bone maturation and the possibility of creating biomodels using 3D printing.

Keywords : Heterotopic ossification; Bone scintigraphy; SPECT/CT; Biomodel; 3D.
