Background: Stress fractures are troublesome injuries. Sites of occurrence are activity-related and specific anatomical sites are endemic to certain sports. Little is known about stress fracture patterns in golf.
Objective: A structured review of the literature was conducted to identify the occurrence and injury sites of golf-related stress fractures.
Methods: A literature search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus was conducted using a combination of controlled vocabulary and truncated text words to capture all articles relevant to golf-related stress fractures. Articles meeting inclusion criteria were descriptively analyzed.
Results: The search resulted in 164 articles, of which 13 met the inclusion, and reported 44 cases of golf-related stress fractures. Seven anatomical injury sites were identified with rib stress fracture being the most commonly reported. Stress fractures occurred on the golfer's lead-side in 80% of cases.
Conclusion: Golf-related stress fractures are infrequent injuries. The ribs were the most common stress fracture site, and a predilection for lead-side involvement was reported.

Introduction: Despite the biomechanical advantages of the Femoral Neck System (FNS), improvements in postoperative complication rates have not been significant. This study evaluated the effects of different FNS positions on the biomechanical stability of Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures (FNFs) using finite element analysis (FEA).
Methods: Pauwels type III FNF models fixed with different FNS positions were constructed using various bolt lengths, bolt positions, and axis-bolt angles.

We report the case of a 44-year-old male patient without a notable medical history who developed transient osteoporosis following surgery for a medial malleolus fracture, which led to a stress fracture and osteonecrosis, ultimately requiring total talar replacement. The patient sustained the fracture spraining his ankle while welding. Osteosynthesis was performed using two cannulated cancellous screws, whereas bone union was achieved 3.

The structure and evolution of coal are intricately linked to its properties at both nanometer and micrometer scales. The refinement of pores and fractures is crucial for assessing outburst risks, evaluating coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs, and improving the CBM recovery efficiency. This study involved collecting four different coal-body structure samples from the Zhaozhuang colliery in the southern Qinshui Basin.

This work aims at solving the problem of prevention and control of coal and gas outburst disasters that are dominated by stress in a deep coal seam. It is found that hydraulic slotting and gas extraction lead to double pressure relief for the coal seam stress and gas. A double pressure relief coefficient is proposed.
