Detailed explanation-1: -What is myositis ossificans? Myositis ossificans (my-uh-SY-tuss uh-SIH-fuh-kanz) is when a bone forms inside your muscle or other soft tissue. Usually, myositis ossificans develops after a traumatic injury. Most often, it affects large muscles, such as in your arms or legs.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is defined as new bone growth that develops after a blunt injury to a muscle; the ossification occurs within the skeletal muscle fibers [4, 5]. MOC is more common in males and is typically seen in the arms and thighs of young athletes who participate in contact sports [1, 4, 5].
