Disorders of muscle ligament and fascia
Infective myositis
Muscular calcification and ossification
Calcification and ossification unspecified
Progressive myositis ossificans
- disease characterized by bony deposits or the ossification of muscle tissue.
Traumatic myositis ossificans
Postoperative heterotopic calcification
Other muscular calcification and ossification
Muscular wasting and disuse atrophy not elsewhere classified
- A process, occurring in the muscle, that is characterized by a decrease in protein content, fibre diameter, force production and fatigue resistance in response to different conditions such as starvation, aging and disuse. [GOC:mtg_muscle]
Other specific muscle disorders
- Arthrogryposis marked by congenital contractures involving two or more different joints with ankylosis, hypoplasia of the attached musculature, and multiple pterygia. Several types are recognized: Myopathic type is relatively rare and is characterized by muscle changes with fixed flexion deformities of the limbs and gross deformities of the chest and spine. Nuropathic type presents fixed extension or flexion deformities of the limbs. Distal type affects the distal portions of the extremities. Distal arthrogryposis is further divided into two types: At least 3 varies of X-linked distal arthrogryposis are recognized: 1. Lethal form with severe contractures, scoliosis, chest deformities, micrognathia, and death by age of 3 months. Psychomotor retardation may occur. 2. A mild to moderate forms with blepharoptosis, microphallus, cryptorchidism, inguinal hernia, and normal intelligence. 3. A sporadic form with mild symptoms which gradually improve, which is manifested main by moderate contractures and normal intelligence. Type I involves primarily the distal parts of the hands and feet and is characterized by overlapping fingers, clenched fists, ulnar deviation of the fingers, camptodactyly, positional foot anomalies, and generally normal intelligence. Type II is divided into several subtypes and, in addition to arthrogryposis, has a variety of associated findings, including short stature, cleft lip and/or palate, scoliosis, trismus, and dull intellect.
Laxity of ligament
Hypermobility syndrome
Contracture of palmar fascia
- A superficial fibromatosis arising from the soft tissue of the palm. It is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped fibroblasts, and an infiltrative growth pattern. It predominantly affects adult males.
Other fibromatoses of muscle ligament and fascia
Plantar fascial fibromatosis
- A superficial fibromatosis arising from soft tissue of the plantar regions. It is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped fibroblasts, hypercellularity, and an infiltrative growth pattern.
Other fibromatoses of muscle ligament and fascia
- A rapid growing, non-encapsulated benign neoplasm that arises from the soft tissues. It is characterized by the presence of non-hyperchromatic spindle-shaped fibroblasts, multinucleated osteoclast-like giant cells, chronic inflammatory infiltrate, red blood cell extravasation, and high mitotic activity, in a storiform growth pattern.
Other disorders of muscle ligament and fascia
Interstitial myositis
Foreign body granuloma of muscle
Rupture of muscle nontraumatic
Diastasis of muscle
Spasm of muscle
- a sudden, violent, involuntary contraction of a muscle or a group of muscles, attended by pain and interference with function, producing involuntary movement and distortion.
- A sudden, violent, involuntary contraction of a muscle or group of muscles.
Necrotizing fasciitis
Muscle weakness (generalized)
- A reduction in the strength of one or more muscles.
Rhabdomyolysis
Other disorders of muscle ligament and fascia
Unspecified disorder of muscle ligament and fascia
