A total of 1239 CT pulmonary angiogram studies for 1201 patients were reviewed. Patients with COVID-19 and associated shoulder girdle calcific myositis were identified. Their electronic patient records were reviewed. The patients\u2019 demographics, serum inflammatory markers, and proning history were recorded. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Of the 364 patients in Wave 1, 71 patients (19.5%) had COVID-19, and of those, 2 patients (2.8%) had shoulder girdle calcific myositis. Of the 521 patients in Wave 2, 354 patients (67.9%) had COVID-19, and of those, 3 patients (0.8%) had shoulder girdle calcific myositis. Of the 316 patients in Wave 3, 37 patients (11.7%) had COVID-19, and of those, 1 patient (2.7%) had shoulder girdle calcific myositis. The overall prevalence was 1.3%. The most common site of calcific myositis was within the subscapularis muscle. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p> COVID-19-associated shoulder girdle calcific myositis is a rare extrapulmonary musculoskeletal manifestation of COVID-19. Early recognition and increased awareness of this disease entity, in our experience, aids in reducing patient morbidity and improving long-term functional outcome. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Advances in knowledge:<\/jats:title><jats:p> We have reported a novel disease entity associated with COVID-19, in the form of shoulder girdle calcific myositis.
