摘要:
In briefTibial stress fractures often occur in Patients who participate in running and jumping sports. With rest, most stress fractures heal without incident, though midshaft fractures are more resistant to healing. Bone scans are usually required to confirm the diagnosis. Relative rest, strength training, proper footwear, and treating underlying risk factors are the mainstays of treatment. A new treatment option is a pneumatic brace that the patient can wear when he or she returns to play. Physicians should be prepared to counsel competitive athletes about the risks of returning to play too soon.
