Myositis ossificans is an extra-osseous non neoplastic growth of new bone. There are several clinical subtypes of myositis ossificans. Myositis ossificans circumscripta refers to new extra-osseous bone that appears after trauma, and occasionally without injury. Progressive myositis ossificans (also known as fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva) is a rare, inherited disorder characterized by fibrosing and ossification of muscle, tendon and ligaments of multiple sites often in the upper extremities and back that is disabling and ultimately fatal. Myositis ossificans is also a recognized complication of paralysis that occurs below the level of spinal cord injury
Myositis ossificans presents as a rapid enlargement and significant pain one to two weeks after injury. The patient has swelling and warmth at the site as well as an increased ESR and serum alkaline phosphatase.
