APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -A femoral stress fracture often starts with a deep, dull gnawing or aching in the groin (inside of the leg) or front of the hip. Sometimes, the pain is felt in the thigh. It may even travel down into the knee. The pain is more noticeable when you walk or put weight on the leg.

Detailed explanation-2: -As it gets worse, the pain can start to be present when at rest and at night. The involved bone may be tender to touch and there is often some swelling. However, it is important to remember not all stress fractures have these typical symptoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -A person who gets a stress fracture from regular activity, like walking, should have their bone density evaluated. They may suffer from bone loss, called osteopenia, which can be a precursor to osteoporosis. A bone density test, called a DEXA scan, can provide answers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pain, swelling or aching at the site of fracture. Tenderness or “pinpoint pain” when touched on the bone. Pain that begins after starting an activity and then resolves with rest. Pain that’s present throughout the activity and does not go away after the activity has ended. More items •28-Jan-2020
