fracture caused by non-traumatic, cumulative overload on a bone; caused by a number of factors including overtraining, incorrect biomechanics, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, poor nutrition, and osteoporosis.
a bone break resulting from repeated pressure on the bone
A fracture which occurs due to repeated loading on the bone.
fracture resulting from excessive activity rather than a specific injury
a bone disruption that occurs without breaking the outer lining of the bone
a bony injury that is not caused by a single traumatic event (like a fall), but rather by repetitive loading (like running)
a break in a bone cause by
a break in a bone, usually small, that develops because of repeated or prolonged forces against the bone
a break in the bone caused by repetitive stress such as walking or running
a break in the bone when repetitive forces are applied and overload the bone
a common overuse injury most often seen in athletes
a common over use injury most often seen in athletes who run and jump on hard surfaces, such as distance runners, basketball players, and ballet dancers
a crack in a weakened
a crack in the bone but a completely broken bone can also be called a fracture
a crack in the heel bone, usually behind or below the subtalar joint, which is the last bone of the foot beneath the ankle
a crack in the outer shell of the bone, necessitating limited weight bearing and possibly a cast
a disruption in the normal architecture of the bone
a failure of bone tissue to withstand human biomechanical forces, and such injuries usually take a long time to happen, after continuous loading at a specific vulnerable spot
a fracture that develops slowly over time, as opposed to the usual fracture that results from a specific injury
a hairline crack in
a micro break of the bone due to overuse
a micro fracture in the bone in the leg
a microscopic break caused by an overload of forces on a bone that has been unable to adapt to the increased stress
an incomplete crack in the bone caused by overuse
a non-traumatic fracture due to microtraumatisms
an overuse injury
a phenomenon whereby multiple, repeated stresses can easily lead to a fracture
a small crack in a bone brought on by overuse or repeated impact on a hard surface over a long period of time, Major said
a small crack or cracks that occur as a result of repeated loading of the bone when muscles are fatigued
a small fracture in the bone that is usually caused by repetitive microtrauma, such as running
a tiny bone break so small you cannot see it on xray until the bone begins to heal
a tiny crack in the bone that is not caused by a blow to the bone
a tiny line like crack generally occurring due to jolting exercise i
a very small crack that can occur in bones when you do the same activity over and over for too long
a very small sliver or crack in the bone that is accompanied by intense pain
a weak spot or small crack in a bone caused by repeated overuse
A fracture occurring as a result of repetitive use membrane
Fine, hairline fracture of the bone usually from repetitive stress; it may not show in an X-ray for several weeks; characterized by sharp persistent pain; Stress fractures are commonly caused by overuse, hard surfaces, or improper footwear.
A hairline or microscopic break in a bone, usually due to repetitive stress rather than trauma. Stress fractures are usually painful, and may be undetectable by X-ray. Though they may occur in almost any bone, common sites of stress fractures are the tibia (lower leg) and metatarsals (foot). [See: Fluoride & Stress Fractures
A subtle break in the continuity of bone tissue (sometimes known as a hairline fracture) due to repeated overuse stresses on the bone tissue.
A hair-line type of break in a bone caused by overuse.
fracture not caused by a sudden accident, but by constant and repeated small injuries. Often seen in athletes like long-distance runners.
A fracture caused by a non-traumatic, cumulative overload on a bone. Many small insults or a number other factors, including overtraining, incorrect biomechanics, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, poor nutrition, and osteoporosis, can cause stress fractures.
bone undergoes microscopic fractures due to repeated overuse and jarring of the bone. Talar fracture
a bone injury caused by overuse.
