Abstract
Stress fractures represent mechanical disturbances and develop over a period of days or weeks, in contrast to traumatic fractures which develop abruptly at the moment of injury. They are generally not fractures in the usual sense of loss of structural continuity but represent a focal acceleration of the normal remodeling process in cortical bone. If bone loss is rapid and excessive, a true fracture may become superimposed.
