Dear OCADers,
what is the etiology of these calcifications apparently within the hamstring origins?

Dear MSK-friends:
7 answers so far:
· I have seen this before. I think these are heterotopic ossifications of the hamstrings in the setting of chronic traction injury.
· Looks like calcific tendinopathy. Much less likely consideration include heterotopic ossification (look calcified rather than ossified so don’t favour this) or tumoral calcinosis (not around a joint so don’t favour this).
· Maybe gluteal calcifications, more usual, and not hamstrings? Maybe CT could be a good thing!
· Looks like hydroxyappetite deposition (calcific tendinosis).
· probably old avulsion or tear of the hamstrings….
· Heterotopic ossification of hamstrings (old avulsion type injuries)
· Those appear as dystrophic calcification in the soft tissue, benign.
Thank you very much indeed.
Best wishes
