A repetitive spontaneous distal tibial insufficiency fracture: an unusual case report
1Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, İstanbul Training and Research Hospital, İstanbul, Turkey.
Abstract:
Stress fractures typically occur, when cyclic loading to the healthy bone exceeds the normal carrying range capacity. These fractures are most commonly seen in athletes and military recruits who are engaged with intensive physical exercise in their daily lives. Stress fractures can also occur in a variety of conditions, in which the mineral content or the elasticity of bone is abnormal and defined as an insufficiency fracture. The tibia is the most frequent location for stress fractures, while bilateral tibial fractures are extremely rare. Herein, we report a repetitive spontaneous distal tibial insufficiency fracture in the right and left distal tibia and discuss predisposing factors, diagnosis, and treatment in the light of the current literature.

Unusual Results
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ from the mean, μ is considered unusual.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
