Primary Endpoint
Prophylaxis of Heterotopic Ossification (HO) in Wartime Extremity Injuries, a Randomized Clinical Trial

Overview

Brief Summary

Hypotheses:

H1: Celecoxib, when given less than five days after injury will result in a statistical decrease in the incidence and/or severity of radiographically apparent Heterotopic Ossification when compared to controls.

H2a: A biomarker profile will accurately predict which patients in the treatment group will respond to Celecoxib prophylaxis for Heterotopic Ossification.

H2b: A biomarker profile will accurately predict which patients in the control group are at highest risk of developing Heterotopic Ossification

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial.
