Stress fractures represent a spectrum of injuries ranging from periostitis, caused by inflammation of the periosteum, to a complete stress fracture that includes a full cortical break. They are relatively common overuse injuries in athletes that are caused by repetitive submaximal loading on a bone over time and are often seen in running and jumping athletes and are associated with increased volume or intensity of training workload. Most common in the lower extremities and are specific to the sport in which the athlete participates. Upper extremity stress injuries (usually of ulna) are much less common and similar to the lower extremity injuries, upper extremity stress injuries are the result of overuse and fatigue.

Definition/Description[edit | edit source]

Stress fractures represent a spectrum of injuries ranging from periostitis, caused by inflammation of the periosteum, to a complete stress fracture that includes a full cortical break. They are relatively common overuse injuries in athletes that are caused by repetitive submaximal loading on a bone over time and are often seen in running and jumping athletes and are associated with increased volume or intensity of training workload. Most common in the lower extremities and are specific to the sport in which the athlete participates. Upper extremity stress injuries (usually of ulna) are much less common and similar to the lower extremity injuries, upper extremity stress injuries are the result of overuse and fatigue.
