Introduction[edit | edit source]
Myositis ossificans (MO) is the most common form of heterotopic ossification (HO), usually within large muscles.[1]
- Some doctors view these MO and as two points on the same line. They are similar problems that cause pain, local signs of inflammation, and loss of motion.
- In both cases, bone forms in and around soft tissue (usually muscle). Myositis ossificans (MO) occurs after trauma to the muscle or a broken bone. New bone cells form between the torn muscle fibers. This happens most often around the elbow or thigh. Children and young adults are affected most often[2].
