title: [Heterotopic ossification as a complication of fracture-dislocations of the forearm in children].
abstract: Under observation there were 59 patients ranging in age from 4 to 14 years with posttraumatic ossifications in the elbow joint areas. All the patients were given conservative treatment, 23 patients needed operative interventions on the elbow joint. Long-term results were studied at the period from 6 months to 8 years. Good and satisfactory functional results were noted in 96.8% of the patients after the conservative treatment. After the operative treatment good and satisfactory functional and anatomical results were obtained in 90% of the patients.
