[Stress fracture in the first and second cuneiform bone in a 23-year-old female]

Abstract:
This is a case report of a healthy 23-year-old female who developed a stress fracture in the first and second cuneiform bone from training towards physical testing at the police school. Stress fractures in these bones are rare and can therefore be overlooked. This case report highlights that patients without preceding trauma, where suspicion of a fracture is maintained despite negative X-ray findings, should be evaluated for a stress fracture with more advanced imaging such as CT or MRI although the anatomic location is unusual.

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...

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
