A Quick Guide to Stress Fracture


A [stress fracture](https://canund.com/read-blog/31434_a-quick-guide-to-stress-fracture.html) is the result of overuse of a bone that causes stress and eventually a tiny break. Athletes are highly prone to developing this condition as they repeatedly perform specific movements while playing, and with time, the overused bone may get fractured due to stress. Sometimes, stress fractures also occur while doing daily activities, and this happens in people with conditions like osteoporosis or low bone mineral density. But when compared, almost 50% of stress fractures are found to occur due to sports injuries.
