title: Longitudinal stress fracture of the tibia: case report.
abstract: Stress fractures usually present with vague clinical features and delayed radiographic findings. A patient with a longitudinal stress fracture of the tibia is described here. Computed tomographic images, perpendicular to the fracture, were diagnostic while plain radiographs and scintigraphy showed nondiagnostic changes due to an unexpected fracture pattern.
