A member asked:
Does anyone know how long it takes for heterotopic ossification bone to fully mature?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: It varies somewhat, but usually in the area of 4-6 months. A mature case of HO will have a well circumscribed ring of cortical appearing bone around it on X-ray.
