Traumatic myositis ossificans (MO) circumscripta is an uncommon nonhereditary pathophysiological result of muscular trauma that is detected by radiographic imaging three to four weeks following initial trauma. It is responsible for great global morbidity, with symptoms of prolonged pain, diminished flexibility, and stiffness. There is frequently a delay in diagnosis due to the generalized symptoms and varying radiographic presentation. The goal of therapy is to rule out serious complications (such as soft tissue sarcoma) and to restore strength and range of motion (ROM) as soon as possible. Here we detail the case of a 32-year-old male with a delayed diagnosis of MO who presented to the hospital with left lower extremity pain and swelling following a motor vehicle accident (MVA) that occurred one month prior.
创伤性骨化性肌炎（MO）局限性是肌肉创伤的一种罕见的非遗传性病理生理结果，在初次创伤后三到四周通过影像学检查发现。它导致全球范围内大量发病，伴有长期疼痛、灵活性降低和僵硬等症状。由于症状普遍且影像学表现各异，诊断常常延迟。治疗的目标是排除严重并发症（如软组织肉瘤）并尽快恢复力量和关节活动范围（ROM）。在此，我们详细介绍一例32岁男性MO延迟诊断的病例，该患者在一个月前发生机动车事故（MVA）后因左下肢疼痛和肿胀入院。
