Mapping the relationship between morphology and function of the shoulder: implications for human evolution and musculoskeletal injury
… shape features are correlated with rotator cuff injury. This suggests that variation in bone morphology alters the mechanical function of the shoulder on a large, interspecific scale (influencing behaviours across species) and on a smaller, intraspecific scale (impacting propensity for injury …

Analysis of the biochemical mechanisms of heterotopic ossification following musculoskeletal trauma
… theory is that a stimulating event, such as musculoskeletal injury, releases a combination of circulating factors that promote heterotopic ossification, likely through the activation of the BMP-2 receptor is a primary pathway leading to heterotopic ossification. However, further research must …
