Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) following hip arthroscopy is a common finding. Naproxen and celecoxib have both been found to decrease the incidence of HO. Whether this makes a clinical difference to outcomes is unclear at this time. A critical weighing of risks and benefits with regard to HO prophylaxis is warranted. Although the authors will personally continue to use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for HO prophylaxis, it is up to the discerning reader to draw her/his own conclusion.
