Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a known complication of burns. The incidence of this complication is low. The etiology is unclear, but experiment conducted about HO can be significant. Currently, there are still no targeted, effective preventive and therapeutic measures against it. In this study, the relevant literature is summarized to demonstrate the potential pathogenic mechanisms, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment measures of HO in burn patients. Early diagnosis and treatment can be effective in improving the prognosis of patients.
