Bilateral Distal Tibial Stress Fracture in a Triathlete
1University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Department of traumatology, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Abstract:
Stress fractures are common injuries in athletes. They result from excessive, repetitive loads on the normal bone which can cause an imbalance between bone resorption and formation, because during periods of intense exercise, bone formation lags behind bone resorption. The most common locations for stress fractures are weight-bearing bones of the lower extremities. This kind of injuries can easily be missed because they usually do not follow an acute injury in a fit young athlete, and plain radiographs usually appear normal. In this paper, a case of an amateur triathlete who suffered from a bilateral distal tibial stress fracture is presented. Key words: stress fracture, tibia, bilateral, distal tibia.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
