There is no clear form of treatment. Originally, bisphosphonates were expected to be of value after hip surgery but there has been no convincing evidence of benefit, despite having been used prophylactically. Depending on the growth's location, orientation and severity, surgical removal may be possible. Surgical removal of a<unk>  fusing the right Humerus and Radius following a severe TBI and complete fracture of the Ulna. Radiation Therapy. Elbow<unk>  radiation therapy field, status post surgery. Prophylactic radiation therapy for the prevention of<unk>  has been employed since the 1970s. A variety of doses and techniques have been used. Generally, radiation therapy should be delivered as close as practical to the time of surgery. A dose of 7-8 Gray in a single fraction within 24–48<unk> urs of surgery has been used successfully. Treatment volumes include the peri-articular region, and can be used for hip, knee, elbow, shoulder, jaw or in patients after spinal cord trauma. Single dose radiation therapy is well tolerated and is cost effective, without an increase in bleeding, infection or wound healing disturbances. Other possible treatments. Certain antiinflammatory agents, such as indomethacin, ibuprofen and aspirin, have shown some effect in preventing recurrence of<unk>  after total hip replacement. Conservative treatments such as passive range of motion exercises or other mobilization techniques provided by physical therapists or occupational therapists may also assist in preventing<unk> . A review article looked at 114 adult patients retrospectively and suggested that the lower incidence of<unk>  in patients with a very severe TBI may have been due to early intensive physical and occupational therapy in conjunction with pharmacological treatment. Another review article also recommended physiotherapy as an adjunct to pharmacological and medical treatments because passive range of motion exercises may maintain range at the joint and prevent secondary soft tissue contractures, which are often associated with joint immobility.
