Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Hypotheses:

H1: Celecoxib, when given less than five days after injury will result in a statistical decrease in the incidence and/or severity of radiographically apparent Heterotopic Ossification when compared to controls.

H2a: A biomarker profile will accurately predict which patients in the treatment group will respond to Celecoxib prophylaxis for Heterotopic Ossification.

H2b: A biomarker profile will accurately predict which patients in the control group are at highest risk of developing Heterotopic Ossification
