Burn-induced heterotopic ossification from incidence to therapy: key signaling pathways underlying ectopic bone formation

Abstract Burn injury is one of the potential causes of heterotopic ossification (HO), which is a rare but debilitating condition. The incidence ranges from 3.5 to 5.6 depending on body area. Burns that cover a larger percentage of the total body surface area (TBSA), require skin graft surgeries, or...
