Abstract
Although heterotopic ossification (HO) after total hip arthroplasty has been very well described as a cause of disability, much less was written on clinical dysfunction of HO after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). To the extent of our knowledge, there has been no published case of complete bony ankylosis, secondary to severe generalized HO, after a TKA. We present the case of a 67-year-old female treated successfully, with surgical excision of ossification and TKA revision surgery, using a rotating hinge system.
