Track and field athletes and military recruits who carry heavy packs over long distances are particularly susceptible, but anyone can have a stress fracture. Stress fractures are most common in the weight-bearing bones of the lower leg and foot. Many factors such as the frequency and duration of activity, faulty foot structure, poor footwear and type of surface can contribute to the development of a stress fracture. In contrast, pathological (insufficiency) fractures occur under normal stress in bone weakened by a tumor, infection, or osteoporosis 3. This leads to the acceleration of normal bone remodeling, the production of microfractures (caused by insufficient time for the bone to repair), the creation of a bone stress injury (i.e., stress reaction), and eventually, a stress fracture 2. Stress fractures tend to occur when you start a new exercise regimen or get back to an old one after taking time off.
Stress fractures are common injuries that begin with repetitive and excessive stress on the bone, often from overuse - such as repeatedly jumping up and down or running long distances. Stress fractures are tiny cracks or incomplete break in a bone 1. Home remedies for stress fracture What is a stress fracture
