abstract: Calcific myonecrosis is a rare entity with only 57 cases reported in the English literature to date. It is a late complication of compartment syndrome of the limb and results in characteristic muscle necrosis with central liquefaction and peripheral calcification. This series presents a further two cases and consolidates the diagnostic features and treatment modalities described in the literature.
