Abstract/Notes	Myositis ossificans traumatica is a relatively common injury associated with sports especially those involving contact. It continues to frustrate both athlete and health practitioner alike due to its continued lack of treatment options and a lengthy natural history. This case study chronicles the observation of a 34 year old recreational ice hockey player who presented 7 years post-trauma, was diagnosed with myositis ossifi cans traumatica and was followed up on 8 years later (15 years posttrauma). This case report is suspected to be the first published case study of its kind. The literature review outlines the various types of myositis ossifi cans, its incidence, pathogenesis, differential diagnoses including osteosarcoma, and the various methods/modalities reported in its treatment. La myosite ossifiante traumatique est une blessure relativement courante liée à la pratique des sports, particulièrement les sports de contact. Elle continue de frustrer les athlètes et les professionnels de la santé en raison de l’absence d’options de traitement et du fait qu’elle existe depuis longtemps. Cette étude de cas raconte l’observation d’un joueur de hockey sur glace de ligue récréative de 34 ans qui reçut un diagnostic de myosite ossifiante traumatique après 7 ans, et qu’on examina ensuite 8 ans plus tard (15 ans après le traumatisme), Cette étude de cas est probablement la première en son genre. Une analyse de la documentation à ce sujet souligne les divers types de myosite ossifiante, sa fréquence, sa pathogénie, les différents diagnostics, notamment l’ostéosarcome, et les diverses méthodes/modalités signalées dans son traitement.
