스트레스 골절은 뼈에 과도한 압박력이 반복 노출되면서 발생함
A stress fracture is a fatigue-induced fracture of the bone caused by repeated stress over time. Instead of resulting from a single severe impact, stress fractures are the result of accumulated trauma from repeated submaximal loading, such as running or jumping.
Because of this mechanism, stress fractures are common overuse injuries in athletes.[1]
Stress fractures can be described as a very small sliver or crack in the bone;[2] and are sometimes referred to as "hairline fractures". Stress fractures most frequently occur in weight-bearing bones, such as the tibia (bone of the lower leg), metatarsals, and navicular bones (bones of the foot). Less common are fractures to the femur, pelvis, and sacrum.[3]
- 스트레스 골절은 긴시간 반복적인 부하에 의해서 피로로 유도된 골절임.
- 단 한번의 강력한 타격대신에 스트레스 골절은 오래걷기, 달리기 등으로 submaxial 부하 반복으로 축적된 trauma에 의함.
- 이러한 이유때문에 육상선수나 군인들 행군에서 흔히 방생함.
