Calcification and ossification of muscle - what does this mean

Calcification and ossification of muscle is a rare condition in which calcium deposits accumulate in the muscle tissue, leading to the hardening and stiffening of the muscle. this process is caused by an accumulation of calcium phosphate, which can be the result of a variety of conditions, including injury, infection, and metabolic disorders.

What happens during the disease - calcification and ossification of muscle

Calcification and ossification of muscle is a rare condition in which calcium and other minerals accumulate in the muscle tissue, leading to hardening of the muscle and eventual formation of bone tissue. this occurs due to a genetic defect in the proteins responsible for regulating calcium levels in the muscle, leading to increased calcium concentrations in the tissue. over time, this leads to mineral deposition and gradual replacement of muscle tissue with bone.
