title: [Stress fractures from the viewpoint of occupational medicine].
abstract: A stress fracture is a typical case of an injury induced by mechanical overloading of the locomotoric system. Especially, the paper deals with aetiopathogenetic factors in connection with occupational exposures and with criteria for recognizing a stress fracture as an occupational disease. A case of a ballet-dancer who suffered from a stress fracture of the fibula illustrates the development and the course of a typical stress fracture.
