Abstract

Stress fractures are being increasingly reported as a common cause of morbidity in both healthy populations and those with underlying diseases involving abnormal bone. An insight into the types and pathogenesis of stress fractures is necessary to considering the diagnosis, management and prevention of such conditions. The classification, aetiology and aspects of management are discussed.

Bilateral stress fracture of the patellae: a case report.

A case of bilateral simultaneous stress fracture of the patella is presented in a 64 year old Marathon runner sustained when he slipped off a curb whilst out walking. This was confirmed on Xray and treated by tension band wiring using the AO technique. He had an excellent result returning to normal function in both knees. This case is unusual since the fractures were not due to osteoporosis, as would be expected in this age group.

Sacral stress fracture: an unusual cause of low back pain in an amateur tennis player.

Stress fractures are common in athletes, and their incidence in sport is estimated at 2-4%. A case is reported of a stress fracture of the sacrum in an amateur tennis player. The patient was treated with rest and physiotherapy, focusing on stretching programmes and analgesic treatments, followed by an educational programme of tennis training and muscle strengthening. This appears to be the first report of this pathology in a tennis player.

Sesamoid and toe fractures.

Injuries of the toes and sesamoids of the first metatarsophalangeal joint comprise a wide spectrum of traumatic entities. Despite the fact that a majority of lesions may well respond to nonsurgical treatment and exhibit an excellent prognosis, appropriate clinical and imaging analysis is mandatory to select those injuries that require specific therapeutic and surgical measures to avoid long-term sequelae of functional disability.
