  2. Stress fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_fracture

    Stress fractures commonly occur in sedentary people who suddenly undertake a burst of exercise (whose bones are not used to the task). They may also occur in athletes completing high volume, high impact training, such as running or jumping sports. Stress fractures are also commonly reported in soldiers who march long distances.

  3. 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).

  4. Vertebral compression fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebral_compression_fracture

    A compression fracture is a collapse of a vertebra. It may be due to trauma or due to a weakening of the vertebra (compare with burst fracture ). This weakening is seen in patients with osteoporosis or osteogenesis imperfecta , lytic lesions from metastatic or primary tumors , [ 1 ] or infection. [ 2 ]

  5. Spondylolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondylolysis

    Spondylolysis is typically caused by a stress fracture of the bone, and is especially common in adolescents who over-train in activities. The pars interarticularis is vulnerable to fracture during spinal hyperextension, especially when combined with rotation, or when experiencing a force during a landing.

  6. 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]

  7. Cuneiform fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform_fracture

    While cuneiform fractures are fairly rare, the most commonly fractured cuneiform bone is the Medial cuneiform, typically the cause of a cuneiform fracture is by physical trauma (direct blow) to the cuneiform, as well as the result of an avulsion fracture and a result of axial load, [5] but can also be the result of a stress reaction that progressed with continued weight-bearing and physical ...

  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 ...
