title: [Fatigue fractures].
abstract: Stress fractures are extremely common microtraumatic lesions which occur in specific areas of healthy bones. Since clinical findings are often misleading and radiological signs are known to be delayed, diagnosis can be uneasy. In some instances, infectious or tumoral diseases have to be ruled out. Such difficult cases are shown to stress on the potential interest of CT scanner and magnetic resonance imaging.
