Heterotopic ossification is a non-neoplastic deposit of bone within soft tissue (myositis ossificans). The most common localized form is post-traumatic myositis ossificans. The ultrasonographic appearance of heterotopic ossification is characterized by highly echogenic areas with attenuation or complete disappearance of the acoustic signal distal to these areas. The size and extent of para-articular ossifications can also be evaluated, and the choice of the surgical approach is facilitated and damage to soft tissue minimized by the ultrasonographic examination.
异位骨化是软组织内非肿瘤性骨沉积（骨化性肌炎）。最常见的局限性形式是创伤后骨化性肌炎。异位骨化的超声表现特征为高回声区，其后方声信号衰减或完全消失。关节旁骨化的大小和范围也可评估，超声检查有助于手术入路的选择，并使软组织损伤最小化。
