A 41-year old male patient diagnosed C4/5 disc herniation underwent anterior C4/5 discectomy and DCI arthroplasty. Transaxial CT of preoperative (a) and final follow-up (b) showed HO formation at the index level during follow-up. Sagittal CT at the final follow-up (c) illustrated the formation of an ossified bridge, which would restrict ROM of FSU.
