Abstract

This is the case report of a 15-year-old black male with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy who developed heterotopic ossification and spontaneous ankylosis of his contralateral nonoperative hip after unilateral adductor tenotomy. To the authors' knowledge, this is the only reported case of such an occurrence. The mechanism and possible risk factors are discussed as well as management of this complication.
