Abstract
Three children with cerebral palsy and mental retardation showed irritability after surgical procedures. They were subsequently diagnosed as having heterotopic ossification. Heterotopic ossification developed around the hip in all cases--two after bilateral adductor releases at the operative site and the third after spinal fusion at a site unrelated to the surgery.
