The para-articular ossifications in our paraplegics and tetraplegics: a survey of 704 patients.
The X-ray examination of 704 spinal cord injured patients have showed that in 20 per cent of the cases para-articular ossifications were present most frequently in the hips. They were less frequently found in non-traumatic and incomplete cases. No other clear relationship was found.
