Stress fracture represents an overuse injury of the bone resulting from excessive repetitive stress. Diagnosis in most cases is based on clinical evaluation. Plain radiographs may show characteristic changes 2 to 4 weeks from onset of symptoms. Increasingly, magnetic resonance imaging is recognized as the study of choice in the evaluation of stress injury of the bone. Most stress fractures at low-risk sites can be managed in the primary care setting with conservative measures. From a primary care perspective, orthopedic or sports medicine consultation is considered for stress fractures at high-risk sites. This article reviews general principles of diagnosis and management of stress fractures in adolescents.
