Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objectives:To compare rates of heterotopic ossification (HO) after acetabular fracture surgery, through a posterior approach, with and without gluteus minimus muscle (GMM) debridement.Design:Retrospective comparative study.Setting:Single academic Level I trauma center.Patients:Ninety-four patients in the GMM preserved group and 42 patients in the GMM debrided group met inclusion criteria.Intervention:GMM preservation or debridement during acetabular fracture surgery through a single-posterior approach.Main Outcome Measurements:Primary outcomes were incidence and severity of HO. Reoperation for HO excision was assessed. Other risk factors for severe HO (Brooker class III-IV) were secondarily assessed using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. The significance was set at P-value ≤ 0.05.Results:There was no difference in the incidence or severity of HO between the debrided and preserved groups. Rates of reoperation for HO excision were comparable. American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class (OR = 3.3), head injury (OR = 4.6), and abdominal injury (OR = 4.5) were associated with severe HO.Conclusion:GMM debridement was not associated with a decreased incidence of HO after acetabular fracture surgery. American Society of Anesthesiologists class is a novel risk factor associated with severe HO formation.Level of Evidence:Therapeutic Level III.
