This review summarises current understanding of how bone is sculpted through adaptive
processes, designed to meet the mechanical challenges it faces in everyday life and athletic …

Understanding how bones are innately designed, robustly developed and delicately
maintained through intricate anatomical features and physiological processes across the …

Background: Inconsistent associations have been reported for impact-related ground
reaction force variables and running injuries when grouping all injuries together. However …

Stress fractures are common overuse injuries in athletes. They occur during periods of
increased training without adequate rest, disrupting normal bone reparative mechanisms …

Background: The literature is filled with conflicting findings regarding diagnostic accuracy
and protocols for imaging suspected lower extremity stress fractures. The absence of …

Objective Bone stress injuries (BSIs) are classified in clinical practice as being at low-or high-
risk for complication based on the injury location. However, this dichotomous approach has …

Stress fractures account for between 1% and 20% of athletic injuries, with 80% of stress
fractures in the lower extremity. Stress fractures of the lower extremity are common injuries …

Background: While some studies have failed to reveal any significant relationship between
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) grading and return to sports after bone stress injuries …

A stress fracture is a focal failure of bone induced by the summation of repetitive forces,
which overwhelms the normal bone remodeling cycle. This review, the first of two parts …

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