title: Myositis ossificans in the biceps femoris muscles causing sciatic nerve palsy. A case report.
abstract: A case of bilateral myositis ossificans in the biceps femoris muscles causing a sciatic nerve palsy on the left side is described. Complete recovery of the sciatic nerve followed excision of the mass of ectopic bone. It is postulated that the patient's hobby of weight-lifting caused the ossification.
