Stress Fracture eMedicine PMR

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/pmr/topic134.htm

Stress fractures are overuse injuries of bone. These fractures, which may be nascent or complete, result from repetitive subthreshold loading that, over time, exceeds the bone's intrinsic ability to repair itself. Briefhaupt originally described stress fractures in military recruits in 1855. Our present understanding of the pathophysiology of stress fractures...

Femoral Neck Stress and Insufficiency Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic84.htm

Wildstein & Schutte 2007
Femoral neck stress fractures are a common cause of hip pain in select populations. Chronic, repetitive activity that is common to runners and military recruits predisposes these populations to femoral neck stress fractures. These injuries must be differentiated from insufficiency fractures, which, although similar in appearance and...
