Abstract

An unusual case of myositis ossificans secondary to a muscle tendon junction (MTJ) strain of long head of biceps in a young athlete is reported. Plain radiographs, ultrasonography and MRI in association with clinical assessment showed the appearance and the evolution of this pathological entity. This case had a resolution of pain and function after 3 months of conservative treatment. At 6 months follow-up, the athlete became asymptomatic and he gradually returned back to his sports activity.
