title: [Stress fractures in childhood and adolescence].
abstract: Etiology, epidemiology and topographic findings of stress fractures in children are shown in our retrospective study (1976-1994). Signs and symptoms may be misdiagnosed as malignant tumors or osteomyelitis. Stress fractures in children may result from normal activities and are located mostly at the proximal tibia. Conventional X-ray and -tomography are the goal in diagnostic. Typical radiological findings are demonstrated by case reports.
