Abstract
|
|
|
|
Stress fracture usually occurs in physically active individuals as a result of repetitive strenuous muscle and tendon forces acting on bones that have not adapted to such forces. To the best of our knowledge, the literature contains few reports of stress fracture of the patella. We report herein on a case of a nine-year-old female who developed a stress fracture in the patella after running.
