Stress fractures are some of the most common sports injuries. They are tiny breaks in the bone, usually caused by repetitive stress from activities like running.Although they can be quite painful, they usually heal themselves if rested for a few months.Many different sports raise the risk of stress fractures.tress fractures seem to be more common in women. Other risk factors for stress fractures include: drinking more than10 alcoholic drinks a week, smoking, running more than 25 miles a week, osteoporosis, eating disorders and low levels of vitamin D.
A stress fracture is a crack in a bone caused by repeated stresses which are individually insufficient to fracture it. Stress fractures are not full thickness breaks (although without correct management they may progress to become full thickness breaks).istory and examination are often enough to make the diagnosis. Stress fractures are seen in otherwise healthy individuals, and whilst osteoporosis is a risk factor, they are not generally considered fragility fractures. Stress fractures account for 0.7% to 20% of all sports medicine clinic injuries.
