Abstract

Myositis ossificans occurs extremely rare in the wrist and hand. Its clinical manifestations and prognosis differ significantly in comparison to the classical localizations on the thigh or shoulder. It is difficult to diagnose this kind of disease during the early stages of the pathological process. The article presents a clinical case of successful treatment of a patient with myositis ossificans of the lumbricals of the hand. Myositis ossificans in our case is shown not just through local symptoms, but also by clinical neuropathy in the median nerve. A review of the available literature on this topic over the past 40 years is presented.
