title: Stress fractures in pregnancy.
abstract: Because of jogging and aerobics, more stress fractures are occurring in women today. That they can occur unrelated to these activities in pregnant women is not quite so well known. Two cases of stress fracture of the pubic bone sustained at delivery are presented, along with discussion of the possible causes and simple treatment of such fractures.
