Myositis ossificans circumscripta of the sacrotuberous ligament: a case report and review of the literature. Beyth S(1), Liebergall M, Mosheiff R. Author information: (1)Orthopedic Surgery Department, Hadassah Medical Center, Ein Kerem, Jerusalem, Israel. Soft tissue ossification is a well-known phenomenon in various pathologic conditions. Myositis ossificans circumscripta refers to posttraumatic calcification of soft tissue, including various ligaments. However, posttraumatic calcification of ligaments in the pelvis is a rare complication described only anecdotally in the past. We present a rare case of posttraumatic calcification of the sacrotuberous ligament in a patient, several months after suffering a pelvic trauma. This is one of the differential diagnoses of soft tissue pain and tenderness after trauma. DOI: 10.1097/00005131-200210000-00010
