Duration of exercise seems to be the major risk factor for the stress injurydevelopment.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: Lower extremity stress injuries cause moderate to severe functionalrestrictions that frequently preclude attendance in sports, recreational and occupationalactivities involving vigorous, repetitive lower limb training.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The purpose of this study isto evaluate the relation between diagnosis and symptom duration and exercise periodsin cases with bilateral stress injuries diagnosed by physical examination andradionuclide imaging.Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients pre-diagnosed with bilateral stressinjuries, aged between 19 and 35 years (3 female, 22 male) were enrolled in this study.Patient anamnesis, demographic information, the time span of painful period, durationof exercise per week, bones scans and SPECT/CT findings were evaluated.

Abstract

Objective: Lower extremity stress injuries cause moderate to severe functionalrestrictions that frequently preclude attendance in sports, recreational and occupationalactivities involving vigorous, repetitive lower limb training. The purpose of this study isto evaluate the relation between diagnosis and symptom duration and exercise periodsin cases with bilateral stress injuries diagnosed by physical examination andradionuclide imaging.Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients pre-diagnosed with bilateral stressinjuries, aged between 19 and 35 years (3 female, 22 male) were enrolled in this study.Patient anamnesis, demographic information, the time span of painful period, durationof exercise per week, bones scans and SPECT/CT findings were evaluated. Stressinjury groups were identified as bilateral shin splints (SS), bilateral stress fractures (SF),shin splint and stress fractures (SS+SF) according to their uptake properties on threephase bone scan (TPBS) and SPECT/CT images and physical examination findings.Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the groupsaccording to age, and duration of symptoms (χ2 = 3,327, p=0,344).Conclusion: Bilateral stress injury is a rare condition in military personnel andathletes. Duration of exercise seems to be the major risk factor for the stress injurydevelopment.

Özet

Amaç: Alt ekstremite stres yaralanmaları, güçlü, tekrarlayan alt ekstremite antrenmanını içeren spor, rekreasyonel ve mesleki aktivitelere sık sık katılımı engelleyen orta ila şiddetli fonksiyonel kısıtlamalara neden olur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, fizik muayene ve radyonüklid görüntüleme ile tanı konan bilateral stres yaralanmalı olgularda tanı ve semptom süresi ile egzersiz süreleri arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: İki taraflı bacak ağrısı olan ve bilateral stres yaralanmalası düşünülen, 19 - 35 yaşları arasında (3 kadın, 22 erkek) 25 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hasta anamnezleri, demografik bilgiler, ağrılı süre, haftada egzersiz süresi, kemik taraması ve SPECT / CT bulguları değerlendirildi. Stres yaralanması grupları, üç faz kemik taraması (TPBS) ve SPECT / CT görüntüleri ile fizik muayene bulgularına göre bilateral shin splint (SS), bilateral stres kırıkları (SF), shin splint ve stres kırıkları (SS + SF) olarak tanımlandı. Bulgular: Gruplar arasında yaş ve semptom süresine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmadı (χ2 = 3,327, p = 0,344). Sonuç: Bilateral stres yaralanması askeri personelde ve sporcularda nadir görülen bir durumdur. Egzersiz süresi bilateral stress yaralanması gelişiminde ana risk faktörü olabilir.
