Ultrasound-Diagnosed Tibia Stress Fracture: A Case Report
Stress fractures are a frequent cause of lower extremity pain in athletes, and especially in runners. Plain imaging has a low sensitivity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or bone scan scintigraphy is the criterion standard, but expensive. We present the case of a young female distance runner with left shin pain. Plain radiography was unremarkable. Ultrasound showed focal hyperechoic elevation ...

متن کاملA case report of plastic deformity of fibula and fracture of tibia
Background: Plastic deformity is a fixed deformity of bones after application of force which is in contrast to elastic deformity, so it remains unchanged. It is a rare condition and is seen more commonly in upper extremity (forearm). Inability to recognize it causes limitation of motion and remaining of angular deformity. It occurs more commonly in children because of flexibility of their bones...
متن کاملStress fracture of the distal tibia secondary to severe knee osteoarthritis: a case report.

We report a 61-year-old woman with osteoarthritis and severe varus deformity of the knee who had a stress fracture of the distal tibial shaft. The patient had declined total knee replacement for se...
