Context: Neurogenic myositis ossificans or para-osteo-arthropathy are part of heterotopic ossifications. They concern mostly spinal cord injured or cerebral injured patients. They mostly target the hip and can lead to local or general inflammatory signs which can mimic severe sepsis. We detail the frequent septic like symptomatology and the relevance of echography to make the diagnosis and to start adapted therapy.
Method: We conducted a retrospective study from seven patients hospitalized in infectious disease department for suspicion of septical myositis and we compared this cohort with available data.
Results: They all have inflammatory syndrome and radiological signs. Diagnosis can be made early by echography, MRI or tomodensitometry. X-ray signs are delayed.
Conclusion: Myositis ossificans can have a septical presentation but therapy is, at first, medical with non steroid anti inflammatory drugs and no antibiotic therapy.

Objective: To discuss the elbow skin fold extension line in Kirschner wire internal fixation of extended supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
Methods: The clinical data of 58 children with extended supracondylar fractures of the humerus who met the selection criteria between August 2021 and July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. In 28 cases, needle placement of medial epicondyle of humerus was performed with the assistance of the elbow skin fold extension line (study group), and 30 cases were assisted by routine touch of the medial epicondyle of the humerus (control group).

Context: This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of early surgical excision of the traumatic myositis ossificans of the vastus intermedius muscle in an elite football player and return to sports activity within 3 months from the initial injury.
Case Presentation: A 27-year-old male professional football player presented with progressive pain and loss of range of motion after sustaining a severe, right quadriceps contusion 4 weeks earlier. After unsuccessful conservative therapy, the differential diagnosis of myositis ossificans was suspected and confirmed on radiographic examination.
Supraspinous Fossa: Anatomy and Pathology.

Supraspinous fossa is an important location in the periscapular region, which houses important structures such as the supraspinatus muscle and the suprascapular nerve. The supraspinous fossa can be affected by pathologies involving its contents (supraspinatus muscle and suprascapular nerve), osseous boundary (scapular body, distal clavicle, and spinous process), or superficial soft tissue covering it. In this pictorial review, we describe the detailed anatomy of the supraspinous fossa.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disorder presenting with progressive heterotopic ossification (HO) in soft tissues. Early-stage FOP is characterized by recurrent episodes of painful tissue swelling (flare-ups), with numerous proliferation-activated mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) subsequently causing HO. However, the mechanisms underlying flare-up progression remain unclear.

Myositis ossificans (MO) is a benign condition characterized by heterotrophic bone formation, most commonly within muscle tissue. Multiple types have been described, the most predominant being myositis ossificans circumscripta, which occurs in response to trauma. Myositis ossificans cases reported in the literature were reviewed systematically.
