Overuse-related musculoskeletal injuries mostly affect athletes, especially if involved in
preseason conditioning, and military populations; they may also occur, however, when …

This study examined demographic and physical risk factors for stress fractures in a large
cohort of basic trainees. New recruits participating in US Army BCT from 1997 through 2007 …

Hip pain in a child can be a diagnostic challenge partly because of barriers to
communication in the paediatric age group. Pain or limp may result from infective …

Stress fractures (SFs) result from repetitive mechanical stress on bones, leading to an
imbalance in osseous tissue adaptation and resulting in cortical fractures. The majority of …

Stress fractures are a consequence of repeated submaximal loads with inadequate time for
recovery and biologic repair or remodelling. The foot and ankle complex (FAC) represents a …

Since the beginning of recorded history, soldiers have been required to carry arms and
equipment on their bodies. Recently, the weight of these loads has substantially increased …

Background: A navicular stress fracture (NSF) is a common and high-risk injury in distance
runners. It is not clear whether there are differences in foot structure and function between …

To investigate the association of polymorphisms within candidate genes which we
hypothesized may contribute to stress fracture predisposition, a case-control, cross-sectional …

Stress fractures of the femoral neck in healthy individuals are rare and most prevalent
among long-distance runners and military recruits. Women seem to be at higher risk of …

While genetic factors in all likelihood contribute to stress fracture (SF) pathogenesis, a few
studies focusing on candidate genes have previously been reported. The objective of this …
