Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stress fractures are tiny cracks in a bone. 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: -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-3: -A hairline fracture, also known as a stress fracture, is a small crack or severe bruise within a bone. This injury is most common in athletes, especially athletes of sports that involve running and jumping. People with osteoporosis can also develop hairline fractures.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bones also have an amazing ability to rebuild and repair themselves. There is no need to worry much if you break a bone because, with the support of your doctors and therapists, the bone should heal itself.

Detailed explanation-5: -On average, it takes about six to eight weeks for a minor fracture to heal completely. Depending on the which bone is broken – and other factors such as age and an individual’s overall health – healing times can vary.
