Abstract:
The only important complication of a stress fracture is the true fracture. For this reason, a diagnostic should be made as fast as possible. 30 patients with stress fractures, whose 10 with magnetic resonance imaging are presented and the different radiological technics are compared. The magnetic resonance imaging, showing the first modifications inside the medullary cavity, allows a quick diagnosis in very difficult cases, when the other technics have not given the answer.
