Stress fractures are fatigue failures of bone caused by unusual or
repeated stress on bone and are among the more common sports
injuries encountered. Often going unreported or occasionally
unnoticed, athletes run the risk of a more serious fracture if
untreated. Stress Fractures in Athletes focuses on the
presentation, evaluation and treatment of these injuries. Divided
into two sections, the first part provides in-depth description of
the pathophysiology, epidemiology and biomechanics of stress
fractures, as well as a discussion of classification, imaging and
some general treatment concepts. The second part expands on
treatment and takes each relevant anatomical region into
consideration: lumbar spine, pelvis, femur, knee, tibia, upper and
lower extremities, and the ribs and shoulder girdle. A chapter on
insufficiency fractures, commonly associated with osteopenia and
osteoporosis, is also included. As such, Stress Fractures in
Athletes are a comprehensive resource for sports medicine
practitioners, orthopedic surgeons, primary care physicians and
physical therapists alike.
