title: Sequential metatarsal fatigue fractures secondary to abnormal foot biomechanics.
abstract: Sequential fatigue fractures of the fourth, second, and third metatarsals in the same foot are reported for a military aviator in the absence of abnormal stresses or underlying bone disease. The likely etiological factor is altered foot biomechanics, as identified in pedobarographic assessment. We have reviewed the literature regarding multiple metatarsal stress fractures.
