Post-traumatic Myositis Ossificans: Rare Case Diagnosis Through Histopathology

Abstract

A benign disorder called Myositis Ossificans (MO) is characterised by aberrant bone production within muscles, which is frequently brought on by trauma [1]. Myositis Ossificans Progressive (MOP) is a rare inherited autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Myositis Ossificans Circumscripta (MOC), the more common variant, is usually localised and acquired. It can be caused by a number of things, including burns, and traumatic MO (muscle or joint injuries). Iatrogenic MO occurs as a result of joint surgery, whereas neurogenic MO occurs due to acute insults to the central nervous system [2]. Hereby, the authors present a case of an elderly patient who had a history of a cerebrovascular event and who fell during physiotherapy treatment, resulting in the development of MO in her hip joint.
