title: Myositis ossificans of bilateral hip joints in a patient with diplegic cerebral palsy.
abstract: Myositis ossificans (MO) occurs in association with musculoskeletal trauma, traumatic and non-traumatic neurologic conditions, joint surgery and rarely as a hereditary disorder. We report a 6-year-old boy with diplegic cerebral palsy who developed MO of his bilateral hip joints after initiating physiotherapy. He responded well to conservative management.
