Case Report

Treatment of traumatic myositis ossificans with acetic acid iontophoresis

DL Wieder

Ohio Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Inc, Cleveland 44070.

The purpose of this case report is to document the treatment of a patient who had traumatic myositis ossificans with acetic acid iontophoresis. A 16-year-old boy developed quadriceps femoris muscle myositis ossificans as a result of a springboard diving accident. A 2% acetic acid solution was administered via iontophoresis into the myositis ossificans, followed by 8 minutes of pulsed ultrasound at 1.5 W/cm2. The treatment was performed three times per week for 3 weeks. At the conclusion of the treatments, radiographic findings indicated a 98.9% decrease in the size of the ossified mass. The patient regained full range of motion and was able to return to pain-free activity. This case report demonstrates the potential for a therapeutic program of acetic acid iontophoresis and ultrasound in eliminating myositis ossificans.
