Improper care of a thigh contusion leading to incomplete absorption of the hematoma and producing a formation similar to cartilage or bone is called _______.

Answer 1

Heterotrophic ossification

Step-by-step explanation:

• The abnormal growth of bone in non-skeletal tissues is referred to as Heterotrophic ossification.

• Therefore, if after a thigh contusion there is an incomplete absorption of hematoma an extra growth of bone or cartilage takes place and this condition is heterotrophic ossification.
