Stress fractures are fatigue fractures of bone that result from an overuse mechanism. These injuries present most commonly in the legs and feet of distance runners and military personnel but can also occur in the upper extremity and the spine depending on the causative activity. Nutritional, hormonal, and biomechanical factors influence the development of bone stress injuries, and no two bone stress injuries behave identically. A thorough history, detailed physical examination, and proper imaging are required to diagnose and classify these injuries. Management of stress injuries requires nutritional and emotional support, rest from the causative activity, and occasionally surgical intervention.

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 procedure...

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...

The Role of Exercise in Stress Management
Regular physical activity is essential for reducing stress and promoting cardiovascular health. Exercise strengthens the heart, enhances blood flow, keeps blood vessels flexible, and helps lower blood pressure, all of which reduce the body's stress response. Research shows that adults who exercise regularly have nearly half the risk...
