Summary
Patients who present to our institution with a traumatic injury to their elbow who need
operative management will be randomized to one of two groups; a treatment arm and a control
arm. The treatment arm will receive a three-week postoperative course of indomethacin while
the control group will not. We will follow both groups to assess whether or not indomethacin
prophylaxis affects the rate of heterotopic ossification.
