Myositis ossificans around an elbow following a major burn

ABSTRACT

This is a case report of a middle aged Indian male who suffered extensive burns following a gas explosion in his home. Following usual and customary management of the burns, he developed myositis ossificans in the right elbow some four weeks following completion of his treatment. This condition is rarely found subsequent to burn injuries. Movement of the elbow was painful and limited. This is the first such case to be reported from the Kingdom of Bahrain
