Abstract
Introduction Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) associated with
heterotopic ossifications (HOs) are rare occurrences despite the
relatively frequent surgery procedure of the hip arthroplasty. Up to
present, different types of treatment were described in the literature.
Case Presentation We report an unusual case of TKA in a 70-year-old
woman, which was early complicated by development of HO. It was
successfully treated with a second surgery and a selective
cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor (celecoxib) with good clinical results.
Conclusions This case illustrates that early operative and medical
treatment can be used to optimally resolve stiffness caused by HO after
total knee replacement.
