• This is a key piece of evidence linking indomethacin use to impaired fracture healing at a distant long-bone site, relevant whenever HO prophylaxis is being considered in a polytrauma patient with multiple fractures. • It should prompt trainees to weigh HO prevention against fracture-healing risk when a patient has both an acetabular fracture and a concomitant long-bone fracture, rather than defaulting to indomethacin. • It supports considering XRT as an alternative HO prophylaxis strategy in patients where long-bone union is a concern.
