Myositis ossificans (MO) is characterized by benign heterotopic ossificans in soft tissues like muscles, which can be classified into nonhereditary MO and fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). Although MO has been studied for decades, no research reviewed and analyzed the features of publications in this field quantitatively and qualitatively. Using bibliometrics tools (bibliometrix R package, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace), we conducted a bibliometric analysis of 1280 articles regarding MO in the Web of Science Core Collection database from 1993 to 2022. The annual number of publications and related research areas in the MO field increased gradually in the past 20 years. The USA contributed the most percentage (42.58%) of articles. The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) and the Journal Bone published the most articles among all institutions and journals. Kaplan FS and Shore EM from UPenn were the top two scholars who made the largest contributions to this field. Keyword analysis showed that research hotspots changed from traumatic MO and clinical management of MO to the genetic etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of FOP. This study can provide new insights into the research trends of MO and helps researchers grasp and determine future study directions more easily.

Supraspinous Fossa: Anatomy and Pathology.

Indian J Radiol Imaging

January 2025

Department of Musculoskeletal Radiology, The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham, United Kingdom.

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.

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.

November 2024

Department of Small Mammal, Reptile and Avian Medicine and Surgery, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Bünteweg 9, 30559 Hanover, Germany.

Diseases of the musculature can be caused, for example, by alimentary or traumatic issues. In three bald eagles with painful lameness and/or a reduced range of the hip joint, a muscular disease was diagnosed via radiographic examination. The eagles were kept in a falconry and trained as demonstration birds, which were displayed on a gloved hand and flown in falconry education programs.

Subcutaneous anterior abdominal wall myositis ossificans.

Radiol Case Rep

January 2025

Diagnostic radiology department, Collage of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The differential diagnosis of abdominal wall lesions is broad and includes Myositis ossificans (MO). MO primarily arises in skeletal muscles, but can also occur around adjacent structures. It typically appears as a soft tissue lesion with peripheral rim of calcification.

Myositis ossificans is a benign ossifying nodule that can affect any type of tissue but is most commonly found in muscle. Occurrence in the soft tissue of the subcutis is less common and has been referred to as panniculitis ossificans. In this case report, we describe a 46-year-old woman who presented with a 1.
