title: Myositis of the hip in a professional soccer player. A case report.
abstract: Myositis in the hip joint is a rare entity in sportsmen. Repeated trauma or massage can be detrimental. Successful outcome depends upon the recognition of mature, well-organized new bone, and full excision. Best results can be obtained by performing surgery on a biologically sound joint which contains no trace of active or latent inflammation. The joint should be immobilized till the soft tissue trauma has completely healed. Rehabilitation must be in stages.
