    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_fracture

    Stress fractures are typically discovered after a rapid increase in exercise. Symptoms usually have a gradual onset, with complaints that include isolated pain along the shaft of the bone and during activity, decreased muscular strength and cramping.

    intra articular comminuted fracture of base of first metacarpal: axial load along the metacarpal causing splitting of the proximal articular surface: Rolando's fracture at Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics online Runner's fracture: Running: stress fracture of distal fibula 3–8 cm above the lateral malleolus: repeated axial stress on fibula

  4. March fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_fracture

    March fracture is the fracture of the distal third of one of the metatarsal bones occurring because of recurrent stress. It is more common in soldiers, but also occurs in hikers, organists, and other people whose duties entail much standing (such as hospital doctors).

  5. Occult fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occult_fracture

    This stage appears on MRI as an isolated bone marrow edema pattern without a fracture line and is called stress reaction. Then, periosteal new bone forms and may be visible on radiography. Full cortical fractures occur if the repetitive stress continues. Only timely detection and appropriate management can interrupt this sequence. [1]

  6. Trabecula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabecula

    A low bone density greatly increases risk for stress fracture, which can occur without warning. [11] The resulting low-impact fractures from osteoporosis most commonly occur in the upper femur, which consists of 25-50% trabecular bone depending on the region, in the vertebrae, which are about 90% trabecular, or in the wrist. [12]

  7. Shin splints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_splints

    In contrast, stress fracture pain is localized to the fracture site. [6] Women are several times more likely to progress to stress fractures from shin splints. [7] [8] [9] This is due in part to women having a higher incidence of diminished bone density and osteoporosis. [10] [citation needed]

  8. Bone fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture

    An open fracture (or compound fracture) is a bone fracture where the broken bone breaks through the skin. [2] A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress , or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis , osteopenia , bone cancer , or osteogenesis imperfecta ...

  9. Bone pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_pain

    Bone pain belongs to the class of deep somatic pain, often experienced as a dull pain that cannot be localized accurately by the patient. This is in contrast with the pain which is mediated by superficial receptors in, e.g., the skin. Bone pain can have several possible causes ranging from extensive physical stress to serious diseases such as ...
