abstract="Using a simple method of quantifying fracture healing, 53 patients who had limb fractures and also severe head injuries were studied; they were compared with 30 patients who had limb fractures but no head injury. Those with head injuries had a greater healing response and united more rapidly. Radiological and histological analysis revealed that the terms &quot;myositis ossificans&quot; and &quot;heterotopic bone&quot; may be more appropriate than &quot;fracture callus&quot; to describe the healing response in these patients.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
