Abstract
Background of the study : Heterotopic ossification is a bone formation in soft tissues around large joints. It is a serious complication affecting critical ill patients following central nervous system disorders, mul tiple injuries (e.g., neurological and orthopedic injuries), severe respiratory diseases (e.g., ARDS), and burns. I t can have long-lasting effects on patient’s recovery, functional status and quality of life. The present revie w examines the incidence, clinical symptoms, pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnostic methods, classification of H O in intensive critical care unit setting. Also, physiotherapy as prophylaxis and treatment modality in HO manageme nt will be reviewed, providing f uture recommendations.
