What Is Myositis Ossificans?
Myositis ossificans is an unusual condition in which bone starts growing inside the muscle. It is also sometimes known as heterotopic ossification. This condition can be identified with the use of x-ray images which will reveal deposits of bone within the muscle and in locations where bone should not be present. The approach to treatment depends on the location of the bone growth, the underlying cause, and factors such as the patient’s age.
