Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of interventional strategies for the common complications of heterotopic ossification (HO) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) following acquired brain injury (ABI).
METHODS AND MAIN OUTCOMES: A systematic review of the literature from 1980-2005 was conducted focusing on interventions for HO and VTE in the ABI population. Nineteen studies examining a variety of treatment approaches were evaluated.
