Twenty patients with heterotopic ossification were HLA typed. The group consisted of 12 patients with severe cranio-cerebral injury and 8 with spinal cord injury. No significant differences in the frequency of any HLA antigens were found in these patients when compared to 631 healthy matched controls. None of the patients was B27 positive.
