Stress Fracture
Stress fractures are common injuries that can occur in athletes, particularly runners and those involved in high-impact sports. They are caused by the repetitive application of forces on a bone that exceed the bone's ability to repair itself, resulting in small cracks or fractures. Unlike acute fractures that occur due to a single traumatic event, stress fractures develop over time due to the accumulation of repetitive stress on the bone.
