High stress fractures of the fibula

Abstract

A high stress fracture of the fibula which occurred in 48 out of a class of 120 recruits doing a difficult jumping exercise is described. No more were seen when the exercise was stopped. The importance of this report is that it confirms the theory that different muscular activities cause different stress fractures.
