ABSTRACT

Managing stress fractures is a controversial issue today. We must always consider the cause and the factors around it, including bone vascularity and the type of training and equipment the patient uses when performing his/her physical activities. It is also important to consider the metabolic and hormonal status of the individual. Each case determines whether it is a high or a low risk fracture, which will lead us to the appropriate therapeutic choice in each case.
