Heterotopic Ossification doctor referral needed


Hi all my name is Margaret. My brother has a below the knee amputation. Traumatic Heterotopic Ossification is setting in. The goal is to treat it in
order to prevent an above the knee amputation and for him to be able to wear a prosthesis.

We are seeking a referral to a doctor who is an expert in this area and that could treat him?
The ones that he has seen have said that they have not seen a situation like this and we are at a complete loss on what to do.

Recommendations are greatly appreciated.


Thank you.
Margaret Hoogerbeets
