Computerized quantitative radionuclide assessment of heterotopic ossification in spinal cord injury patients.
Paraplegia 1992 November
We evaluated the progression of heterotopic ossification (HO) in 17 spinal cord injury patients by comparing radiographs, quantitative radionuclide bone scans, and serum alkaline phosphatase levels. Evidence of maturation of HO appeared earlier (3 months to 6 years post injury) in radiographs, whereas, during the same time frame, radioactive nuclide assessment showed continued progression of HO in 10 out of the 17 patients. The evolution of HO appeared to take place over a period ranging between 3 and 80 months. We believe that stabilization of HO may be reasonably defined in terms of uptake ratios of 2.0 or less in patients with initial uptake ratios over 3.0 but below 5.0, and of ratios of 3.0 or less when the initial values are over 5.0.
