ABSTRACT
Myositis ossificans (MO) is a rare benign ossifying disease that most frequently affects young people. It is characterised by the localised production of heterotopic bone with cartilage in extraskeletal soft tissue. In most situations, it is impossible to pinpoint a cause. The patient’s trauma history, imaging appearance, histological investigation and clinical symptoms are often used to diagnose MO. This review was performed to search the biological basis of MO. The research studies were collected from PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar. After proper assessment and evaluation, 14 articles were included in the study. The study also covers the diagnosis, management and treatment interventions that will be helpful in the understanding of MO.
KEYWORDS: myositis ossificans, MO, skeletal muscles, chondrocytes, osteoblasts
