The term “stress fracture” covers a wide range of conditions, from periostitis (inflammation of the periosteum, the membranous tissue surrounding the bone itself) to complete bone fracture. As the term suggests, stress fractures occur when excessive repetitive loading exceeds a bone's structural capacity. This imbalance between the load and the bone's regenerative capacity results in a progressive inability of the bone to re-establish its homeostasis, leading to fracture. These types of injury are common among sportsmen and women, particularly in sports involving repetitive impact, such as running and jumping sports (e.g. long-distance runners, volleyball, basketball, etc.). Due to the nature of these injuries, most cases involve the lower limbs, particularly the tibia and foot. As with other fractures, these types of injuries are more common in populations with more fragile bones, probably due to multiple factors such as underlying medical conditions (e.g. osteoporosis), eating disorders, nutritional deficiencies, etc. Typical symptoms reported by patients affected by these injuries are localized pain at the site of injury, which tends to worsen during impact activities, tenderness to palpation and swelling. In addition to gathering data on the mechanisms of the injury and its causes.
