How Can Heterotopic Ossification Be Treated?

My husband had a THR June 2016...He now has a heterotopic ossification. He is unable to bend at the hip...was advised we had to wait to have surgery to remove the ossification . Is there any way to stop it from continuing to grow so he can proceed with surgery??
