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) is a complication associated with severe quadriceps contusions. This is a non-neoplastic proliferation of bone and cartilage in the area of the contusion injury. In contusions, the reported incidence is between 9% and 17%.

Detailed explanation-3: -Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is an extra-osseous non-neoplastic growth of a new bone. It occurs most commonly in the second and the third decade of life, while it is rare in children. The etiology of MOC is unknown and the quadriceps and brachials are the most affected.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
