Abstract
Indomethacin is used commonly for the prevention of postoperatively heterot opic ossification. There have been 3 reports in the pharmacologic literatur e of indomethacin-induced psychosis. We describe a case of indomethacin-ind uced psychosis in a patient in whom indomethacin was used for the preventio n of postoperative heterotopic ossification after bilateral uncemented tota l hip replacements.
