Objective: To present a case of myositis ossificans traumatica (MOT) in a hockey player. Serial X-ray studies allow the reader an opportunity to observe MOT in its earliest through fulminated stages.
Clinical Features: A 20-yr-old hockey player was subjected to an acute blow to the lateral thigh. Copious amounts of swelling soon developed. The patient was unable to skate. X-rays were initially performed 4 hr after the injury and demonstrated a hugh mass developing in the thigh at that time.
Intervention And Outcome: The player was inappropriately treated with deep tissue massage and heat at the time of injury. It is believed that this led to the fulmination and advanced degree of MOT development. Immobilization allowed for resorption of the calcific density of the ossified structure.
Conclusion: Proper care of acute trauma is essential in disorders of this nature. Ice, immobility and recognition of when a possible MOT lesion is developing is essential when dealing with contact sports.

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.

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.

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.
