Abstract
We report a case of 42-year-old male traumatic paraplegic (D9 level, ASIA A) with inability to sit in the bed and wheelchair which interfered in his rehabilitation because of myositis ossificans at bilateral hips which was confirmed clinically and radiologically. He underwent excision arthroplasty bilateral hips following which his sitting restored and patient independently used wheelchair and successfully earned his livelihood.
