Muscle ossification refers to the presence of abnormal calcium salt deposits within the muscle. In layman’s terms, it is a condition in which muscle becomes bone.
Muscle ossification is also clinically known as injury ossification, mostly due to severe local trauma, infection, inflammation and other triggers, resulting in abnormal calcium deposits within the muscle, replacing the original muscle tissue, the muscle loses its elasticity and protective effect, and becomes as hard as bone over time.
Most of the patients show symptoms such as obvious localized pain, decreased muscle strength, decreased mobility of the joints, and limited activities. The most common clinical condition is ossification of the muscles around the elbow joint. Once this condition occurs, it will have a great impact on the patient’s daily life and work.
When patients suspect that they have muscular ossification, they should consult a doctor in time, and under the guidance of a professional doctor, carry out active treatment, including rehabilitation training in the later stage, in order to strive for early recovery and return to normal work and life.
