• Resumen

  • Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of lamellar bone inside soft-tissue structures where bone normally does not exist. It is not an inflammatory process, but a reactive and benign response to an injury. We can distinguish three different types: myositis ossificans circumscripta, myositis ossificans progressiva and localized myositis ossificans traumatica (MOT).

    MOT, which is more frequent in men than in women, can occur at any site, but most frequently in the hip following total hip arthroplasty.

    However, this is also the most common site of involvement in patients with a traumatic brain or spinal cord injury, and has also been descri- bed after an avulsion fracture, and also has been reported as associa- ted with contact sports or those at risk of repetitive trauma.
