Abstract

Stress fractures occur following repetitive and mechanical overloading of the bones. Two known subtypes are fatigue fractures and insufficiency fractures. Generally, pain in the affected bone increases with activity and decreases with rest. They are frequently seen in the tibia, pelvis and foot bones. In the early period, results of direct radiography are generally normal. Diagnosis is based on detailed history assessment, physical examination and advanced imaging methods. Stress fractures are often overlooked and difficult to diagnose; thus, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis if there is clinical suspicion. This report presents three cases of stress fractures in different anatomical regions.

Özet

Stres kırıkları kemiklerin tekrarlayıcı ve mekanik olarak aşırı yüklenmelerine bağlı olarak oluşurlar. Yorgunluk ve yetersizlik kırıkları olmaküzere iki alt tipi vardır. Genellikle etkilenen kemikte ağrı hareketle artar ve istirahatle azalır. Sıklıkla tibia, pelvis kemikleri ve ayak kemiklerindegörülürler. Erken dönemde direkt grafi genellikle normaldir. Dikkatli anamnez, fizik muayene ve ileri görüntüleme yöntemleri ile tanı koyulur.Günlük pratiğimizde sıklıkla gözden kaçabilen, tanı konulması zor olan stres kırıkları klinik şüphe varlığında ayırıcı tanıda mutlaka düşünülmelidir.Bu makalede farklı anatomik bölgelerde stres kırığı olan 3 hasta sunulmuştur.
