Abstract
Estimations of serum alkaline phosphatase were carried out prospectively on a series of patients having a total hip replacement. The levels of serum alkaline phosphatase before operation indicated a group of patients who subsequently developed heterotopic ossification. Levels of this enzyme after operation did not indicate those patients who were developing heterotopic ossification.Entities:
