Heterotopic ossification is a bone-developing disease whose etiology remains unknown, and whose risk factors include both fractures and luxations, traumatic brain injuries and long periods of immobilisation. Its treatment mainly consists of preventive measures, and may be done by either NSAIDs or radiotherapy. Once established, the elective treatment is surgical. We present a case of bilateral severe heterotopic ossification, as well as a review of the existing literature and therapeutic guidelines.
