Khadar Vali Shaik, Haripriya Chari

Abstract :

 Myositis ossificans traumatica (MOT) is known mostly in the orthopedic literature as              non–neoplastic, heterotopic bone formation within muscle or fascia, presumably due to acute trauma, burns, surgical manipulation, or repeated injury.

Aim of the study: To review the literature available, on Myositis ossificans in the head and neck region and to formulate a protocol for its treatment.

Materials and methods:  We have reviewed the literature through random search in Pubmed, for MOT in Head and neck and as well as in the orthopedic literature

Summary: we suggest early surgical intervention and prevention of further calcifications with drugs like indomethacin along with active physiotherapy to maintain jaw movements.
