A
hip pointer
B
piriformis syndrome
C
myositis ossificans
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Myositis ossificans occurs when bone forms where it shouldn’t, usually in your muscles or other soft tissues. Usually, myositis ossificans develops after a traumatic injury. Rarer hereditary types of myositis ossificans cause more severe symptoms. There’s no cure for these types of myositis ossificans.

Detailed explanation-2: -Myositis ossificans (MO) occurs after trauma to the muscle or a broken bone. New bone cells form between the torn muscle fibers. This happens most often around the elbow or thigh.

Detailed explanation-3: -Regardless of the cause, myositis ossificans happens when the body makes an error in the healing process. Muscle cells, also known as fibroblasts, are accidentally replaced by immature bone cells at the site of the injury. Eventually, this can cause a hard lump or bump to develop within the muscle.
