MSK Case Presentation

19 yo Lacrosse Player
~2 weeks ago, he was hit in his
quadricep with a lacrosse stick.
– Initial injury has improved some, but
are has remained tender.
– He returned to the field after 5 days.
Presents with pain, tenderness,
warmth, focal swelling of his thigh.
New Development: He can palpate a
new “lump” in the leg.
Myositis Ossificans
Heterotopic bone formation in
muscle in the setting of trauma.
Injury: Compression of muscle
tissue against underlying bone with
injury to the muscle, blood vessels,
and periostium.
Seen radiographically about 2-4
weeks after initial hematoma.
Myositis Ossificans
Bone will begin to grow 2-4 weeks
after the injury and mature bone will
be seen by 3-6 months.
Most common in athletic adults in the
2nd or 3rd decade
Usually in the setting of trauma.
Most common locations: Quadriceps,
Brachialis, Deltoid.
Myositis Ossificans
Why do some develop this lesion?
– Not applying ice and compression
immediately after the injury.
– Intensive physiotherapy, massage, or
heat too soon after the injury.
– Returning to play too soon after injury.
Major Differential
Diagnosis
Osteosarcoma
– Sunburst Appearance
Radiological Comparison
Myositis ossificans
– Calcification begins at the periphery and
progresses toward the center.
– Radiographic stabilization or
improvement at 3 to 4 months
Osteosarcoma
– Calcification begins at the center and
progresses to the periphery.
– Continued radiographic growth
Clinical Comparison
Myositis Ossificans is favored with:
– History of trauma to the affected site
– Clinical improvement at 3 to 4 months
Most Important: Pain lessens with time
Pain with osteosarcoma is progressive and
unrelenting.
Myositis Ossificans
Treatment: Conservative
– Rest, Immobilization, Ice
Things that decrease initial hematoma
Will usually resolve on its own
– Surgery: Rarely indicated
Only if it interferes with joint movement or
it irritates a nerve.
Usually wait 12 months for lesion to mature
as shown by bone scan.
If removed before mature, it will likely recur
