Rehabilitation Approach of a Patient with Myositis Ossificans : Non-surgical Management, Hazard of being Unguided Over Exercised

Myositis ossificans (MO) is a condition where calcification occurs in the soft tissue as well as around the bone following fracture, vigorous exercise or trauma. Although it is a radiological diagnosis, it often leads physician to an incorrect or missed diagnosis as recurrent fracture. Frequently, it follows haemorrhage into the muscle in the tissue space. We report a 45 years old house-wife presented with the complaints of weakness of right side of body and pain with restricted range of motion (ROM) in right lower limb. She was a diagnosed case of recurrent stroke with rheumatic valvular heart disease. After discharge, vigorous physical exercise was done at home by local physiotherapist without appropriate guidance from physiatrist. Gradually pain was so severe that she didn't allow moving her right lower limb. Over the course of time, she became incapacite and bed bound. She denied any positive family history. With the hip and lower limb problems she consulted with orthopedic surgeon and was referred to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh for further management & rehabilitation. This case is presented to focus on hazard of being unguided, over-exercised and non-surgical management approach of this rare condition.
