Objective: To explore the potential role of ultrasound (US) as a bedside tool in intensive care
unit patients with presumed neurogenic heterotopic ossification (NHO). Setting: Tertiary
university teaching hospitals. Participants: Critical care patients with acquired brain injury.
Design: A multicenter prospective study of critical care patients with possible NHO. Main
Measures: Following a screening clinical examination, the major joints were evaluated with
US, serum laboratory work, and x-ray. Results: A total of 310 patients had decreased range …
