Search this site Myositis Ossificans (Heterotopic Bone Formation) What is Myositis Ossificans? If you have a bad muscle strain or contusion (dead leg!) and it is neglected then you could be unlucky enough to get Myositis Ossificans. It is usually as a result of impact which causes damage to the sheath that surrounds a bone (periostium) as well as to the muscle. Bone will grow within the muscle (called calcification) which is painful. The bone will grow 2 to 4 weeks after the injury and be mature bone within 3 to 6 months. What causes myositis ossificans? Not applying R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression and elevation) immediately after the injury. Having intensive physiotherapy or massage too soon after the injury. Use someone who is properly qualified and insured. Returning too soon to training after exercise. Symptoms include: Restricted range of movement.
