Article Synopsis
- Stress fractures, which can be fatigue or insufficiency types, commonly cause pain in various patient groups like athletes and older individuals, and are best diagnosed using radiography as the first imaging method.
- MRI improves the detection of these fractures that might not show up on X-rays, while other techniques like nuclear medicine scintigraphy and CT can also assist in diagnosis.
- Prompt treatment is often needed to prevent incomplete fractures from worsening, especially for serious cases like femoral neck stress fractures, and accurate diagnosis is crucial to distinguish from other serious conditions, with guidelines from the American College of Radiology helping inform best practices.
