Over the past decade, this train of thought has been challenged. Some animal studies have suggested that parts of the replacement joints are potentially carcinogenic (60–62). A study by Jacobs et al described a variety of biologic responses to metallic implants (63). The study focused on THA components made with titanium-based alloys. Keel et al reports a case series of 12 cases with metal implant related tumors (62). The majority of these were in replacement surgeries; however, some were from intramedullary rods or plates.

SPINAL CORD INJURY ■ 33 The pathophysiology involves an inflammatory process with increased blood flow in the soft tissue. HO originates from dormant osteoprogenitor stem cells within the soft tissues. The stem cells are stimulated to differentiate into osteoblasts, which begin osteoid formation and develops ultimately into mature heterotopic bone. Research suggests that there may be a correlation between HO and human leukocyte antigens: HLA-B18, HLA-B27, and HLA-DW7 (11). The stimuli that trigger the osteoprogenitor cells have not been fully elucidated, but bone morphogenic proteins have been shown to stimulate HO under experimental conditions.
