ABSTRACT
CASE A 31-year-old patient presented with an encapsulated sciatic nerve secondary to extensive hip heterotopic ossification (HO), which prevented visualization of a safe osteotomy site to avoid nerve damage. The 3D-printed model demonstrated an easily identifiable osseous reference point along the inferior aspect of the heterotopic mass, allowing for a vertical osteotomy to be safely performed. CONCLUSION:
HO is associated with loss of normal anatomic topography. The current case report illustrates the use of a 3D-printed model to identify pertinent anatomic landmarks required for safe decompression of an encapsulated sciatic nerve within the anatomic region of the hip.
