Abstract
We report a case of heterotopic ossification formation 6 years after a revision carpal tunnel release in a 46-year-old woman, causing new-onset mixed ulnar and median nerve compression symptoms. The patient underwent excision of the heterotopic ossification mass along with decompression of the median and ulnar nerves, and postoperative radiation. Four years after treatment, the patient was completely asymptomatic with full range of motion in her hand and wrist.
