Hi,

Has anybody experienced bone growing into the hip - the injury marring Murray's return to tennis. What are the symptoms of this and do you think he can make it back?

It is heterotropic ossification which is usually prevented by radiation therapy to complete the surgery.

This happened to a friend of mine. Calcium seems to start to develop in the muscle. The body goes crazy with repair. Not sure why....

Pre-op I had a very significant Calcium build up on my hip.  it was causing major impingement.  My surgeon said it is a result of our bodies trying to protect itself.  It senses an injury or issue and send calcium to protect itself but makes things worse.
