Abstract:
218 Patients, primary treated with total replacement of the hip joint were examined for ectopic ossifications. Frequency and Arcq-classification are described in relation to the transgluteal approach to the hip joint, age, sex an the technic of implantation. We found 3.5% more paraarticular ossifications in the group of cementfixed endoprotheses compared with the group of cementless CAT-endoprotheses type Heramed. In comparison men were affected more often with heterotopic ossifications than women. In both groups the overall incidence of paraarticular ossifications was 34.0%.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...
