Heterotopic: ossif can occur from muscle or joint periarticular swelling or inflammation. Speak to your surgeon about whether medications or radiation may be indicated to reduce or limit its effects. Much depends upon the extent, the depth and the regions involved i.e. which muscle planes are affected,how that influences motion, how far away or close to the joint. Gentle therapy and ROM can help
