APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -They’re caused by repetitive force, often from overuse-such as repeatedly jumping up and down or running long distances. Stress fractures can also develop from normal use of a bone that’s weakened by a condition such as osteoporosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Femoral neck stress fractures (FNSFs) account for 3% of all sport-related stress fractures. The commonest causative sports are marathon and long-distance running. The main types of FNSF are compression-sided, tension-sided and displaced. The most common reported symptom is exercise-related groin pain.

Detailed explanation-3: -A stress fracture is a small crack in a bone, or severe bruising within a bone. Most stress fractures are caused by overuse and repetitive activity; they are common in runners and athletes who participate in running-intensive sports, such as soccer and basketball.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stress fractures are common injuries for runners. The repetitive motion of running causes the bone cells to begin to break down. This repetitive stress leads to tiny cracks in the surface of the bone that cause inflammation and pain.
