title: [Stress fractures].
abstract: The authors present stress fracture (fatigue fracture). Theories about the cause, the underlying mechanism, etiology, pathology, localisation, diagnoses and treatment are discussed, and two case histories are mentioned. Suitable precautions are recommended for runners. The authors would like to emphasize the importance of further investigations including technetium scintigraphic, in cases where stress fracture is suspected.
