Stress Fractures Stress Fractures
• Occur when osteoclastic activity overwhelms osteoblastic activity • Physical exam • Bone injury unfolds over a continuum of time without intervention – Tests to perform in the area of interest are palpation, the tuning fork test, the fulcrum test, & the hop test
Normal Bone → Stress Reaction → Stress Fracture → Fracture • Palpation
– Pain over affected bone with palpation • Result from excessive stress on normal bone from overactivity • Fulcrum Test • Result from normal stress on a bone that is deficient (osteoporotic, – Pain in fracture site while applying a bending force (e.g., over exam poor nutrition, or in female athlete triad) table) to distal extremity while proximal extremity is kept relatively • Common injuries in athletes & people who are active immobilized • Running sports account for 69% of stress fractures • Hop Test • Suspect in someone who is active: – Hopping 10 times on affected leg reproduces pain at fracture site – + bone pain • Tuning Fork Test – + performs repetitive activities with limited rest or recent increase in – Vibrating tuning fork over fracture site results in pain at site activity

Stress Fractures Stress Fractures – Prevention
• • Distribute loading forces on the bone with cross training & Imaging biomechanical adjustments – If a stress fracture is suspected, x-rays should be – Orthotics, proper shoes, stretches, strengthening, running mechanics) obtained – Consume sufficient calories to maintain adequate energy availability • Takes 2 to 3 weeks for signs of stress fracture (i.e., periosteal – Ensure appropriate intake of calcium and vitamin D. reaction, callus formation, fracture line) to show up on x-ray • A study by Lappe of female Navy recruits showed reductions in stress fractures in those consuming 2000 mg of Calcium & 800 IU • Often stress fractures do not show up on x-rays vitamin D daily (supplement or diet) – If x-rays are negative & diagnosis is needed to help • Tobacco should be avoided guide care & return to activity a bone scan or MRI • Women of child bearing age should try to maintain regular menses should be obtained by consuming adequate calories & avoiding a negative energy balance – Bone scan can stay positive for up to 18 months • Clinical progress should not be monitored with a bone scan
5 6
Stress Fractures – Treatment Stress Fractures – Treatment
• Nutrition, medication, & biomechanical recommendations • Nutrition • Begin a rehabilitation program when tolerated – Optimizing energy availability in diet – Ensuring adequate calcium & vitamin D intake • Stretch & strengthen supporting structures – Avoidance of tobacco exposure • Medication • Start a gradual increase in activity when pain – Acetaminophen PRN – Avoidance of NSAIDs as they can slow bone healing free • Biomechanical – Offload the affected bone – Reduce activity to pain-free functioning & pain-free cross-training – Crutches may be needed to offload the injured area even more than a walking boot/cast or steal shank – May require NWB • Goal = pain-free ambulation during the initial tx

Stress Fractures Stress Fractures High Risk vs Low Risk Low Risk vs High Risk • Because of their propensity for delayed healing & • Biomechanical forces along the bone with nonunion, certain stress fractures are considered activity are used to classify femur neck stress high risk, necessitate prompt treatment, & may fractures as either compression-sided or ultimately require surgical fixation tension-sided – Femoral Neck – When running, the femoral neck compresses • Low-risk stress fractures have a lower incidence inferior medially so the inferior medial aspect of of delayed healing & nonunion the femoral neck is considered compression sided – Femoral Shaft • These variable forces on different parts of the – Sacrum bone affect the potential for delayed healing – Ilium & nonunion

Femoral Neck Compression Sided Tendinopathy Stress Fracture • Tendinopathies – Tendonitis – Tendinosis • Tendinitis – Painful overuse tendon conditions – Inflammation is present • Tendinosis – Most common pathology in chronic painful tendons – Occurs after repetitive injuries to a tendon that results in intertendinous scarring, disorganization of tendon fibers & degeneration. – NO inflammatory component • Bottom Line – Early on in a tendon injury, there is inflammation resulting in tendinitis, but after about 6 weeks this generally evolves into tendinosis

Tendinopathy – Treatment Tendinopathy – Treatment Tendinosis • Tendonitis • Healing is facilitated by creating an inflammatory – STOP the inflammation response • To create inflammation – NSAIDs (oral or topical) – Eccentric strengthening – Rest – Deep soft tissue massage with tools (e.g., gua sha, – Early activity modification Graston®, or ASTYM®)
– PT – Nitroglycerin patches (Nitro-Dur)1 – Treatment may prevent the development of – MSK US percutaneous needle tenotomy(with or without injection of autologous blood, prolotherapy, tendinosis or platelet-rich plasma)
