  • STRESS FRACTURE in CHILDHOOD Report of Two Cases
    STRESS FRACTURE IN CHILDHOOD Report of Two Cases SAMUEL SAWMILLER, M.D.,* WILLIAM M. MICHENER, M.D., M.S. (PEDIAT.), Department of Pediatrics and J. TED HARTMAN, M.D. Department of Orthopedic Surgery TRESS fracture in childhood is a relatively rare injury, apparently only 71 cases S having been reported in the English literature to 1963.' The entity is also recognized by the name 'fatigue fracture,' or, in the special case of the foot, 'march fracture.' According to Meyerding and Pollack,2 in 1855 Breithaupt described the complication occurring in soldiers after long marches. In 1897, soon after the advent of roentgenograms, the stress injury was demonstrated to be a hairline fracture. An early description of stress fractures in children is that of Roberts and Vogt3 in 1939- Their report concerned 12 children each with a painful limp and no history of trauma. All of the children subsequently proved to have fractures involving the upper third of the tibia a few inches below the epiphysis. In a recent paper by Devas,' stress fractures are reported as having occurred in the tibia, fibula,humerus, rib, pelvis, sesamoid bones, metatarsals, and femora of children up to 16 years of age. In the "series of more than 40 patients," it was noted that the tibia was the bone most commonly fractured in children. The child usually has a painful limp of gradual onset, avoids the bearing of weight, and feels most comfortable when at rest. Examination reveals some swelling around the area of fracture (usually the upper tibia) accompanied by tenderness up and down the shaft.

Repetitive load causes microlesions of the bone and leads to mech- anical failure, usually characterised by a stress bone reaction with no cortical discontinuation. Most fre- quently, it affects weight-bearing bones, as seen in runners, jumpers, skaters and military.12 Stress fractures have been described since the forties.34Initially, they were known as march frac- tures because the first reported cases occured in sol- diers during the World War II.

They may be treated conservatively but this may cause long-term complications, such as delayed union, muscle atrophy and chronic pain. Stress fractures that fail to respond to this management require surgical treatment, which is also not without risks and complications. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been used successfully on fracture complications, such as delayed union and nonunion. As such, we want to examine ESWT in the management of stress fractures. In this article, we present a retrospective study of 10 athletes affected by chronic stress fractures of the fifth metatarsus and tibia that received three to four sessions of low-middle energy ESWT.

  • Stress Fractures in Athletes* M
    SPORTS MEDICINE VIl Stress fractures in athletes* M. B. DEVAS, F.R.C.S. Bexhill-on-Sea A STRESS fracture may be defined as that fracture which occurs in the normal bone of a normal individual undergoing normal activity and with no injury. To under- stand stress fractures, or as they are sometimes called, fatigue fractures, it must be understood that the normal bone of a healthy individual is very much alive and that it is in no way comparable to a concrete post but it is much more like a piece of living wood. However, in certain respects bone differs from other material to which it might be compared in that it has the ability to restrengthen itself after it has become weakened by use. During use bone absorbs energy; were the bone to be made of metal or concrete it would break in due course of use. But bone, being alive with a free flowing blood supply, normally does not break but continuously regains its lost strength. Athletes, usually in the full vigour of youth, are essentially fit and do not have abnormalities or disturbances of metabolism but they can, by over-exercising especially when not in training, lay themselves open to an increased incidence of stress fractures. Thus a marathon runner in full training will be less likely to develop a stress fracture at, say, the twentieth mile than another who is out of training. Thus training counts even in avoiding stress fracture, because bone will become strdnger by being used, in exactly the opposite way that it becomes weak with immobilization in plaster.
