Unusual Stress Fracture in a CrossFit Athlete: A Case Report
1Department of Orthopaedics, Centro Hospitalar do Porto, Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar, Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal.
Case:
This is a case of a 28-year-old CrossFit athlete who was observed at the emergency department after a competition with acute right shoulder pain. After investigation, she claimed of some posterior shoulder tightness for the past month, without any trauma associated. After the imaging study, we diagnosed a scapula stress fracture. After 8 weeks of rest, she was pain free and returned to sports.
Conclusion:
Stress fracture of the scapula should be considered in the differential diagnosis of shoulder pain in overhead activities athletes. This case illustrates an excellent prognosis with conservative treatment and the potencial for full return to sports.

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...

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
