Prospective double-blinded RCT in 98 patients comparing placebo to 3-day, 1-week, and 6-week indomethacin regimens after Kocher–Langenbeck acetabular ORIF, asking whether indomethacin prevents HO and whether it impairs fracture union.
Guides decision-making about heterotopic ossification prophylaxis in acetabular trauma, particularly when treating posterior wall fractures where fracture healing takes priority over HO prevention.
