Heterotopic ossification is an abnormal deposit of bone in muscles and tendons that may occur after injury. It is most common in the hips and knees.
Intramembranous ossification
Endochondral ossification! :)
Intramembranous ossification begins when osteoblasts differentiate within a mesenchymal or fibrous connective tissue.
