Stress Fracture: Pathogenesis and clinical findings

Abnormal biomechanics, Repetitive impact activities

=> Repetitive subthreshold mechanical loading

=> Bone strain

=> Bone remodeling

=> Accumulated micro-damage exceeds ability to repair

=> Microscopic fractures

=> Fracture propagation from continued loading
