Article Synopsis
- The study observed 480 hip surgery patients to assess heterotopic ossification incidence, comparing those who received celecoxib prophylaxis to those who didn't.
- About 77% of patients received celecoxib, while 25% of surgeons opted out, mainly believing it wasn't necessary.
- The results showed a significant decrease in heterotopic ossification incidence in those treated with celecoxib, reinforcing the drug's effectiveness and the impact of surgeon preference on prophylactic treatment decisions.
