Abstract:
The authors present a case of exuberant bony proliferation following elective foot surgery. Differential diagnoses of osteomyelitis, periosteitis, and heterotopic bone formation are discussed. The authors attribute the postsurgical changes to heterotopic bone formation and give radiographic and histologic evidence to support their conclusion.
