Abstract

It is felt that stress fractures are caused by excessive, repetitive muscle forces acting across the affected bone. These fractures should be suspected in participants of athletic endeavors who present with a history of persistent, focal, activity-related pain regardless of their stage of physical conditioning. Associated physical findings are localized tenderness and swelling without evidence of a generalized systemic response. Bone scans and serial roentgenograms including specialized views may be required for documentation. Limitation of the athletic activity is the hallmark of the treatment program.
