Aus Dornheim Anatomy
A fatigue fracture (stress fracture) is caused by a permanent overload of the bone. It often remains clinically silent for a long time and is only noticeable by a local pressure pain or soft tissue swelling. Even on X-ray, fatigue fractures are often difficult to detect, usually only after a periosteal reaction after a few weeks.
