This case study presents a rare complication of trauma and laparotomies, where the rapid and extensive occurrence of HO has delayed abdominal incision closure resulting in multiple surgeries and prolonged recovery. A 44-year-old man was retrieved after a truck accident resulting in multi-organ injuries. He required damage control trauma laparotomy followed by several relooks and multiple orthopaedic procedures. Despite several attempts, approximation of the laparostomy wound was not possible due to abdominal rigidity. Computed tomography scans done 20\u00a0days after injury demonstrated advanced HO over the wound edge. Early development of HO may explain why the abdominal incision was difficult to close and highlights the importance of being aware of HO as an early complication after trauma and midline laparotomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjac086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,14]],"date-time":"2022-04-14T11:13:12Z","timestamp":1649934792000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Rapidly developed heterotopic ossification: a rare complication after trauma"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2022","author":[{"given":"Jae H T","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, The Canberra Hospital, Garran, Australian Capital Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janaka","family":"Balasooriya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, The Canberra Hospital, Garran, Australian Capital Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thembekile","family":"Ncube","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, The Canberra Hospital, Garran, Australian Capital Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022041820412360000_ref1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Heterotopic ossification of the anterior abdominal wall","author":"Ak\u0131nc\u0131","year":"2018","journal-title":"Turk J Surg"},{"key":"2022041820412360000_ref2","first-page":"346","article-title":"Heterotopic ossification","volume":"43","author":"Shehab","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Nucl Med"},{"key":"2022041820412360000_ref3","first-page":"651","article-title":"Two cases of heterotopic bone formation in the kidney and clinico-pathological study of 36 cases reported in Japan","volume":"33","author":"Gohji","year":"1987","journal-title":"Hinyokika Kiyo"},{"key":"2022041820412360000_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1511","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200308000-00012","article-title":"Arthroscopic anterior stabilization of the shoulder: two to six-year follow-up","author":"Kim","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"key":"2022041820412360000_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1097\/GOX.0000000000000814","article-title":"Extensive abdominal wall incisional heterotopic ossification reconstructed with component separation and Strattice inlay","volume":"4","author":"Suleiman","year":"2016","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open"},{"key":"2022041820412360000_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"219","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1966.03110030113044","article-title":"Heterotopic bone formation in abdominal surgical scars.
