Stress Fracture

Stress Fracture

A Stress Fracture is a small crack or severe bruising within a bone, typically caused by repetitive force or overuse, commonly observed in weight-bearing bones like the tibia or metatarsals. In orthopaedics, stress fractures are a prevalent concern, often seen in athletes, runners, or individuals engaged in high-impact activities. Orthopedic assessments for stress fractures involve clinical examinations, imaging studies like X-rays or bone scans, and consideration of the patient's activity history. Early detection is crucial to prevent the progression of the fracture and avoid more severe complications. Management of stress fractures in orthopaedics includes rest, modification of activities, and sometimes the use of supportive devices like braces or crutches. Physical therapy may be prescribed to facilitate proper healing and prevent recurrent injuries. Understanding the biomechanics of stress fractures is essential in orthopaedics for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and implementing preventive measures. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing the impact of repetitive stress on bone health, promoting optimal musculoskeletal function and overall well-being.
