Les para-ostéo-arthropathies neurogènes multiples : à propos d'un cas

Periarticular heterotopic ossifications are responsible for joint stiffness and vicious attitudes resounding heavily on function. Nerve or vascular complications in type of compression can also be combined. We report a complex case of a patient who suffered from multiple injuries and was presented two years later with periarticular heterotopic ossification in elbows and knees that required a program supported with multiple surgeries and an appropriate care in rehabilitation. The evolution was marked by a functional improvement. The prevention of periarticular heterotopic ossifications in patients with central nerve damage but also by a device appropriate care rehabilitation can improve the prognosis. Once established, the surgical treatment of these ossifications is heavy and remains costly for society.
