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
Case:A 15-year-old boy with type 1 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity presented with atraumatic posterior ankle pain and stiffness due to extensive heterotopic ossification (HO) of the Achilles tendon. The ossification was successfully surgically resected and tendon primarily repaired. Wound dehiscence was noted at the first preoperative visit, managed conservatively by local wound care, and healed uneventfully by secondary intention. One-year follow-up showed no recurrence of HO, return to baseline activities, yet low Oxford scores.Conclusion:HO of the Achilles tendon is a rare clinical entity. We report an atraumatic case in an adolescent patient with metabolic syndrome, which may demonstrate systemic inflammation because of metabolic syndrome as a risk factor for HO.
