“…Treatment options for primary or recurrent HO are sparse 13 , and medical therapies for HO are essentially limited to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and low-dose radiation 11 . Pain precedes HO in sporadic forms 14 16 , and even rare genetic forms 17 19 , which is often out of proportion to clinical examination. Given these clinical observations, we hypothesized that sensory innervation would play a pathoetiogenic role in trauma-induced HO.…”

“…Single-dose radiotherapy or oral nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs such as indometacin and maintaining joint ROM post-stroke are used as HO prophylaxis and treatment. [ 17 ] Preliminary studies and case reports on the role of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in the treatment of neurogenic HO following traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury suggest that ESWT may reduce pain and increase ROM of the affected joints;[ 18 - 20 ] however, excisional surgery remains the treatment of choice to restore joint mobility. [ 6 , 21 ] In this case, the contracture of the osteoarthritic left knee may have developed secondary to the neurogenic HO of the hips, as this results in reduced mobility and poor positioning of the patient within bed.…”

“…A elevação do metabolismo local, provocada pela aplicação das ondas de choque, favorece um aumento da circulação, aumentando a ação de agentes lipolíticos liberados pela indução inflamatória gerada pela ação da TOC. O próprio aumento metabólico favorece um maior consumo energético de modo que se verifica um consumo maior das moléculas de gordura armazenadas na zona de aplicação 14,15 .…”
