Popis: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the abnormal formation of extra-skeletal bone in soft tissue, which can occur after trauma or surgery. HO in joints can cause pain, hinder mobility, and compress surrounding nerves and blood vessels. We present an unusual case of arterial insufficiency caused by HO in the right popliteal fossa.
