Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) has devastating consequences for the physical, social and
vocational well-being of patients. The demographic of SCIs is shifting such that an …

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of extraskeletal bone in non-osseous tissues. It
is caused by an injury that stimulates abnormal tissue healing and regeneration, and …

Whether sensory nerve can sense bone density or metabolic activity to control bone
homeostasis is unknown. Here we found prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) secreted by osteoblastic …

To date, the cell and molecular mechanisms regulating tendon healing are poorly
understood. Here, we establish a novel model of tendon regeneration using neonatal mice …

The aim of this paper is to give an overview of acute complications of spinal cord injury
(SCI). Along with motor and sensory deficits, instabilities of the cardiovascular …

Acquired heterotopic ossification (HO) is a painful and debilitating disease characterized by
extraskeletal bone formation after injury. The exact pathogenesis of HO remains unknown …

The new Sixth Edition of this award-winning classic prepares its users for delivering expert
care in this most challenging nursing specialty. It addresses neuroanatomy, assessment …

Heterotopic ossification is defined as the presence of lamellar bone at locations where bone
normally does not exist. The condition must be distinguished from metastatic calcifications …

Human disorders of hereditary and nonhereditary heterotopic ossification are conditions in
which osteogenesis occurs outside of the skeleton, within soft tissues of the body. The …

Neurogenic heterotopic ossification (NHO) is a disorder of aberrant bone formation affecting
one in five patients sustaining a spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury. Ectopic bone …
