Stress Fractures in Lower Extremity

Abstract
|
|
|
Three cases of fatigue fracture were experienced, whose tibia, fibula and femoral neck had been involved. The mechanism of fracture was explained as the result of repeatation of uncustomed stress mainly in lower extremities.
Several authors suggested many types of predisposing factors, such as spastic flat foot, short first metatarsal bone and osteoporosis after steroid administration.
Two of the cases were treated conservatively and one case with femoral neck fracture treated by open reduction and Smith-Peterson nailing.
