Abstract
The purpose of this report is to analyze common features of reactive heterotopic ossification,
zone phenomenon and involution. Eleven cases evaluated with plain radiography and
MRI were classified based on the location: intramuscular, periosteal, and intermediate
(mainly the insertion site of muscles). Zone phenomenon tends to be complete in the
intramuscular type and incomplete in the periosteal type. Involution is also more
evident in the intramuscular type.
