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.
Heterotopic ossification within the patellar tendon refers to the abnormal formation of bone tissue within the tendon. This can cause pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion in the knee joint. Treatment may involve physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
Intramembranous ossification
Endochondral ossification is the type of ossification in bones that are formed in cartilage. This process involves the replacement of cartilage by bone during development and growth.
Not really. Exoskeletons are chitinous and not subject to ossification because they are not bone but a dense form of protien.
There is no bone that violates the laws of ossification. Ossification is the process by which bone tissue forms and hardens, and it follows specific biological principles that apply to all bones in the body.
Initially heterotopic ossification causes localized swelling, warmth, redness, and stiffness of the muscle. It usually begins one to four months after the injury and is rare after one year.
Etidronate disodium (Didronel), a drug that regulates the body's use of calcium, is used to prevent heterotopic ossification. Treatment begins three weeks after the injury and continues for 12 weeks.

Ossification (or osteogenesis) is the generic term for bone formation. There are two basic types: membranous ossification and endochondral ossification.
