Myositis ossificans traumatica - what does this mean

Myositis ossificans traumatica is a rare disorder in which bone forms in muscle tissue after an injury. it is caused by inflammation and calcium deposits that accumulate in the injured muscle, leading to the formation of bone. it is most commonly seen in athletes and can result in pain, stiffness, and loss of movement in the affected muscle.

What happens during the disease - myositis ossificans traumatica

Myositis ossificans traumatica is a rare condition that occurs when muscle tissue is injured and then replaced by bone tissue. it is thought to be caused by a combination of direct trauma to the muscle tissue, an inflammatory response, and an abnormal healing response that leads to the formation of bone instead of muscle tissue. this abnormal healing response is thought to be caused by an imbalance of cytokines, which are proteins that regulate the immune system's response to injury.
