Musculoskeletal
Foot Pain
- We believe that in cases where cerebral palsy patients with paralytic equinus complain of foot pain, the possibility of stress fracture of the navicular bone should be considered.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Physicians should consider the possibility of such an injury while determining the diagnosis of a long-lasting foot pain. The aim of this paper was to report an isolated stress fracture of the lateral cuneiform bone.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Stress fractures should be considered when a patient who had a considerable severe deformity of the knee preoperatively complains of foot pain on the affected side.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- If this is not sounding quite like your problem, visit the top of foot pain section or the foot pain diagnosis section for help working out what is wrong.[foot-pain-explored.com]

Anterior Knee Pain
- However, in treating elite athletes, legitimate concerns exist regarding the surgical disruption of the extensor mechanism and the risk of anterior knee pain associated with intramedullary nail use.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- This technique offers advantages, such as no violation of the extensor mechanism and risk of anterior knee pain, and directly addresses the underlying problem of distraction forces acting on the anterior tibial cortex and compromising fracture healing[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Psychiatrical
Compulsive Behavior
- If it is not treated successfully, the compulsive behaviors may cause extreme stress for children and their parents.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
Anterior Thigh Pain
- When presented with a patient with non-traumatic, diffuse anterior thigh pain in an individual of this age, who is participating in high-level endurance running; clinicians should consider the possibility that the cause of the symptoms may be a femoral[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Radiculopathy
- This case is rare in that L5 radiculopathy was complicated by a sacral stress fracture. Clinicians should suspect sacral stress fractures when RA or osteoporosis is present in women who experiences lumbar pain and lumbar radiculopathy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urogenital
Pelvic Pain
- Clinical presentation was mainly low back pain, pelvic pain, and abnormal gait.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
- Patients who have sacral stress fractures typically report pain that is vague and nonspecific, and the diagnostic workup is often extensive to rule out disk disease, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and sacroiliitis.[chiro.org]
Treatment
- When conservative treatment fails, intramedullary nailing is the mainstay of treatment. However, nonunion is a serious complication.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The optimal treatment modalities for navicular stress fractures in athletes is currently unknown for this season-ending injury.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Conflicting evidence currently exists on the effect of cross sex hormone treatment on bone density, with no literature suggesting a link between hormone treatment in gender reassignment and stress fractures.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- A preventive treatment was implanted with good results on pain improvement and functional capacities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- After the failure of conservative treatment, the patient exhibited good results with osteosynthesis with a plate and screws, with no need for a bone graft.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- Treatment is usually conservative and prognosis is favorable. We present a rare case of spontaneous displaced fracture of the entire ischium following revision THA that healed without requiring operative intervention.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- According to the literature, almost all cases of stress fracture in the first rib have a relatively good prognosis, and there are only a few reports of TOS occurring as a rare late complication.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- It is related to worse lifespan symptoms and prognosis. Therefore, the treatment of OCD in children and adolescent has gained importance.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Posterior tibial stress fractures are more frequent than anterior tibial stress fractures, and they are considered to have a good prognosis for returning to sports; cases leading to a complete fracture are rare.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- A retrospective analysis was made of events that may cause stress fracture such as traumatic episodes or sports activities, spinal level, radiologic findings, stage of spondylolysis, treatment, and prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
- Much attention has been given to the role of remodeling in the etiology of stress fracture; however, the role of bone modeling has received less attention.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an extremely rare and most severe form of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis of unknown etiology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- For pedicle fractures the literature review reports several different etiologies: spontaneous fractures, hereditary fractures or stress-related fractures.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Age distribution
Pathophysiology
- Sacral stress fracture during pregnancy is an uncommon condition with unclear pathophysiology, presenting with non-specific symptoms and clinical findings.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest an important role for SOST SNP rs1877632 and VDR SNPs rs10735810 and rs731236 in the pathophysiology of stress fracture.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Pathophysiology Bone normally responds to muscle pull (direction, intensity) or impact shock by deforming and then returning to normal shape ( 6 ). A complete cycle of bone turnover and remodeling and mineralization requires 3 to 4 months.[journals.lww.com]
- Milner et al suggested that as a result of these differences, lower-extremity load distribution in members of the first group differed from that in the controls, increasing the former's likelihood of fractures. [8] Pathophysiology Bone, like muscle, is[emedicine.com]
