Twenty nine spinal cord injury patients were treated by resection of heterotopic ossification in 41 hips. The average follow-up period after surgery was 4.2 years. The mean time to surgery after injury was 82.1 months. The indications for surgery were seating problems, loss of function, pressure sores and pain. The average preoperative motion in flexion and extension was 21.95 degrees, the average intraoperative motion was 94.51 degrees. The average motion at follow-up evaluation was 82.68 degrees. Clinical relevant recurrence occurred in three patients. Complications excluding recurrence occurred in 10 hips, including deep and superficial wound infections, fracture, aneurysm and pressure ulcer. The operation was followed by a specific regime of physiotherapy and radiation therapy.
