case_images: Radiographs and computed tomography (CT) showed a both-column fracture in the left acetabulum and bilateral pubic bone fractures (Fig. 1A,B).
case_images: (A) Anteroposterior and (B) lateral pelvic radiographs before HO resection. HO (white dotted line) bridged the left hip posteriorly.

case_images: Radiographs and CT revealed HO (Brooker class 4) around the left hip joint (Fig. 2A,B).
case_images: On the bone scan image, the arrowheads show increased uptake around the left hip.

case_images: A bone scan showed intense uptake around the left hip (Fig. 3).
case_images: (A) Resection of HO posterior to the trochanter by a chisel through a direct lateral approach. (B) Piece-by-piece resection of HO.

case_images: During the operation, we found HO posterior to the greater trochanter and identified the sciatic nerve posterior to the HO (Fig. 4).
case_images: (A) Anteroposterior and (B) lateral pelvic radiographs at the final follow-up, 5.5 years after HO resection. The patient developed no HO recurrence.
