JRRD author Ted Melcer is one of the first researchers to describe individual case histories of combat veterans with heterotopic ossification, excess bone growth in soft tissues that frequently occurs in residual limbs of amputees. See his summary slide show, read his article, and listen to the podcast to learn more about heterotopic ossification.
