What are the odds of developing myositis ossificans (unwanted bone) in my quadriceps muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually low: The formation of bone in muscle is uncommon. It usually follows a deep contusion (bruise) of the muscle. It this case it would be a blow to the front of the thigh. It can also follow severe head injury.
