The optimal time for surgery for ossifying myositis depends on the severity of the disease, and surgery is generally considered in most cases when the disease has progressed to an advanced stage of joint dysfunction. The time from early development to advanced ossification varies from about 3 months to 1 year.
Osteomyositis is an inflammatory lesion of the soft tissues of the muscles caused by trauma, strain, or surgery. Surgical treatment is not recommended in the early to mid stage, but can be considered in the late stage when joint dysfunction occurs.
Early and middle stage, i.e. inflammatory reaction and active stage, immediate surgical treatment is not recommended, local braking should be done first, and the purpose of loosening and peeling off the adhesion of tendon, tendon membrane and muscle can be achieved through the treatment of Chinese medicine such as touching, pushing and kneading. However, violent operation should be avoided.
In the late stage, i.e. ossification stage, when the soft tissue of muscle is calcified and stiff, and the functional activities are severely limited, it is feasible to perform surgery to remove the ossified soft tissues, and at the same time, perform arthrocentesis, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the joint function and restoring the joint activities.
If you are diagnosed with ossified myositis, you should consult a doctor in time and choose the best treatment plan or the best time for surgery under the doctor’s guidance to avoid delaying your condition.
