A Case Report on Myositis Ossificans in Adductor Brevis

Myositis ossificans or florid ossification is a pseudo-inflammatory tumor in which pathological bone formation in soft tissue occur that normally do not ossify. The management is mostly done conservatively and operative removal of the ossification is indicated only in those cases in which it occurs near a joint in the origin or the insertion of a muscle, where joint function is permanently impaired, and that only from twelve to twenty-four months after the injury. We are reporting a case of Myositis ossificans in adductor muscles in an adult with head injury and successfully managed by surgical excision.
