Traumatic myositis ossificans
My son had blunt trauma to his quad one year ago.10 days later he showed sudden onset of severe pain, edema, limited range of motion and inability to weight bear. After 3 months of limited activity, stretching and strengthening the mass resolved. He had no formation of ossificans or limited function, thigh was residually larger.
Just today had another blunt kick (playing basketball) and has pain and mild swelling. Does anyone know the protocol for prevention of reaccurance of the mass??? I remember reading of positioning the knee in marked flexion with ice ace bandaged on, but cannot find the specifics of the protocol. Any other suggestion other than NSAIDs???
