Post traumatic myositis ossificans: Sonographic findings

Post traumatic myositis ossificans: Sonographic findings.

PURPOSE The aim of this paper is to describe the sonographic (US) features of post traumatic myositis ossificans (PTMO). METHODS Fifteen patients with histopathological diagnosis of PTMO were included. The following US parameters were evaluated: presence of a mass, calcifications, power Doppler signals, and relationship with adjacent structures. RESULTS Five patients (33.3%) were diagnosed ...

Shock waves in the treatment of post-traumatic myositis ossificans.

Myositis ossificans (MO) is a fairly common evolution in sports activity and can be due to direct trauma or to repeated micro-injuries. The traditional therapeutic approach relies on a variety of treatments, such as physical therapy but evidence of their proven clinical efficacy is lacking. The latest therapeutic option is surgical removal but this is a demolitive procedure and is frequently as...

A Case of Traumatic Myositis Ossificans

Myositis Ossificans

A 35-year-old man presented to the emergency department complaining of right hip pain after being struck by a car while crossing the road. His vital signs were stable, and he complained of right hip pain. He had no other comorbidity. On examination, tenderness and reduced abduction were noted in his right hip, but the gait was normal. The plain radiograph of his pelvis revealed a large, well-ci...

Early Imaging Findings of Non-traumatic Myositis Ossificans in Shoulder: a case report

Myositis ossificans is a benign ossifying process in the musculature presenting a typical zonal pattern of mineralization. It is difficult for diagnosis at early stage because of atypical imaging finding. CT scan examination is more sensitive than radiography for detection of ossification. However, MR imaging presentation of the early lesion is non-specific, which makes it difficult to distingu...
