About Myositis Ossificans Removal

Myositis ossificans removal is a specialized surgical procedure performed by pediatric orthopedic surgeons to excise abnormal bone formation within soft tissues, typically muscles, following trauma or in rare genetic conditions. In children and adolescents, this heterotopic ossification can cause significant pain, restrict joint movement, and impair limb function. The surgery involves carefully dissecting and removing the mature, calcified mass while preserving surrounding healthy muscle, nerves, and blood vessels. The primary goals are to restore pain-free range of motion, prevent recurrence, and allow the child to resume normal physical activities. This procedure requires precise technique and is often timed for when the bone mass is fully mature to minimize the risk of it growing back.

Key Highlights

Performed by specialists in pediatric bone and muscle disorders.Aims to restore full, pain-free range of motion in the affected joint.Helps prevent permanent contractures and limb deformity in growing children.Minimally invasive techniques may be used when appropriate to reduce scarring.Can significantly improve a child's ability to participate in daily activities and sports.

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent, painful restriction of joint movement (contracture) that limits function.
Mass effect causing nerve compression (e.g., numbness, tingling) or vascular compromise.
Significant cosmetic deformity or a palpable, bothersome lump.
Failure of conservative management (rest, physiotherapy, medications) over several months.
Confirmed mature lesion on imaging (X-ray, CT, or MRI shows well-defined cortical bone) to reduce recurrence risk.
Diagnosis of genetic forms like Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) requiring careful, selective removal of problematic lesions.

How to prepare

Comprehensive imaging (CT scan/MRI) to map the exact size, location, and maturity of the ossification.
Pre-operative blood tests and a general pediatric health assessment.
Discussion of anesthesia (general anesthesia is standard) with a pediatric anesthesiologist.
Pre-operative physiotherapy to maximize surrounding muscle strength and joint mobility.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before surgery as instructed.
Informing the surgical team of all medications, especially any blood thinners.

Risks & possible complications

Recurrence of the heterotopic bone formation, especially if removed prematurely.
Infection at the surgical site.
Bleeding or hematoma formation.
Injury to nearby nerves, potentially causing temporary or permanent weakness or numbness.
Damage to blood vessels.
Scarring and stiffness.
Risks associated with general anesthesia.
Incomplete removal leading to persistent symptoms.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay for pain management and initial monitoring (typically 1-3 days).
The limb may be placed in a splint or brace initially for comfort and protection.
Early, gentle movement is encouraged soon after surgery to prevent stiffness.
Structured physiotherapy is crucial, starting within days to weeks, to regain strength and range of motion.
Pain is managed with prescribed medications.
Stitches or staples are removed in 10-14 days.
Avoidance of strenuous activity and contact sports for several weeks to months as guided by the surgeon.
Regular follow-up visits and imaging to monitor healing and check for recurrence.

Typical hospital stay: 2-4 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for basic function, 4-6 months for full sports activity

PATIENT REVIEW

Emily Mehta is a cheerful 8-year-old...

Emily Mehta is a cheerful 8-year-old who loves gymnastics. Six months ago, she took a hard fall from the uneven bars, resulting in a deep thigh bruise. Instead of healing, the area became increasingly hard, painful, and limited her ability to bend her knee. An ultrasound and later an MRI confirmed a large, mature mass of heterotopic bone, myositis ossificans, in her quadriceps. Dr. Rao, her pediatric orthopedic surgeon, explained that the bone had formed in the muscle and was now mechanically blocking her movement and causing pain. He recommended surgical excision to restore her range of motion and allow her to return to sports. The surgery went smoothly, with Dr. Rao carefully removing the bony mass while preserving the surrounding healthy muscle. Post-op, Emily worked diligently with a physical therapist to regain strength and flexibility without re-injuring the area. Six months later, she has nearly full range of motion and is back in the gym, training cautiously. Emotionally, Emily went from being a frustrated and scared girl who couldn't do what she loved to a resilient child who proudly tells her friends about her 'super scar' and her comeback.
