Dupuytren’s Contracture With Heterotopic Ossification:

Heterotopic ossification (HO), the formation of ectopic lamellar bone in soft tissues, is often reported in the literature as a result of trauma, orthopaedic procedures, burns, or neurological injury. One previous case describes finding HO within a Dupuytren contracture. As this finding was during a surgical case, no preoperative images were captured. We report a case of a 61-year-old male who demonstrated HO of the left fifth digit on radiography, intraoperatively, and confirmed by histology.
