Bone Stress Injuries (BSI) are overuse injuries associated with repeated loading of bone by strenuous weight-bearing activities (such as running, jogging, marching) and inadequate recovery periods. BSI’s represent the failure of skeleton bone to withstand repetitive loading, leading to structural fatigue, localized bone pain, and tenderness around the area.

Introduction[edit | edit source]
Bone Stress Injuries (BSI) are overuse injuries associated with repeated loading of bone by strenuous weight-bearing activities (such as running, jogging, marching) and inadequate recovery periods. BSI’s represent the failure of skeleton bone to withstand repetitive loading, leading to structural fatigue, localized bone pain, and tenderness around the area. Bone Stress Injuries (BSI) are commonly seen in avid runners, track and field athletes, and endurance athletes.
There is a continuum of bone stress injury varying from "normal to bone strain to stress reaction to the ultimate progression of a stress fracture. These injuries sit on a continuum whereby they start with a stress reaction (often called a ‘hot spot) which can progress towards a stress fracture and finally towards a complete bone fracture. Essentially, as the BSI progresses along the continuum, the longer it takes to recover. Therefore, an understanding and early recognition of these injuries are critical to any athlete and their sports-specific goals.
BSI differs in severity, with initial findings of periosteal edema and marrow edema. In more severe conditions, stress fractures with distinct fracture lines are present. Stress fractures account for > 10% of total sports-related injuries and it could be as high as 30% in running.
