Symptoms of myositis ossificans after surgery?

The manifestations were peculiar congenital torticollis, torsion, swelling and hardening of neck muscles. All muscles can be involved. The mass increased rapidly, calcified quickly and detumescence quickly. The injury lasted for 1-2 months, and the length of injury was 4-10 cm.

In the active stage, fever, local high skin temperature, tenderness and hard mass may be found. In the mature stage, there is a shell like osteochondral, and in the recovery stage, it stops growing. The hard mass often becomes smaller after one year, or even disappears completely, which is self limiting

X-ray examination is characterized by localized swelling soon after injury. At 3-4 weeks after injury, the hair like dense image appeared in the swelling area, and periosteal reaction appeared in the adjacent bone. At 6-8 weeks after injury, the edge of the lesion was clearly surrounded by dense bone with the appearance of new bone. The core of the soft tissue mass sometimes showed cystic changes and gradually expanded its lumen, and in the late stage, it showed an eggshell like cyst.

matters needing attention

Surgical resection of ossified tissue and arthrolysis were performed. After exposing the ossified tissue, remove it and thoroughly release the adhesive tissue. Before closing the incision, the tourniquet should be loosened to stop bleeding carefully and negative pressure drainage should be placed. After 3 weeks of immobilization, active joint movement was carried out to avoid adhesion.
