Osteogenic Gene Expression Correlates With Development of Heterotopic Ossification in War Wounds
17 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a frequent complication of modern wartime extremity injuries. The biological mechanisms responsible for the development of HO in traumatic wounds remain elusive. QUESTION/PURPOSES: The aims of our study were to (1) characterize the expression profile of osteogenesis-related gene transcripts in traumatic war wounds in which HO developed; and (2) determine whether...
