Low back and buttock pain in athletes can be a source of frustration for the athlete and a diagnostic dilemma for the doctor. Sacral stress fractures have been increasingly recognised as a potential cause of these symptoms. As plain radiographs are often normal and the radiation load of an isotope bone scan is substantial, the alternative use of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of a sacral stress fracture is highlighted in this case report.
运动员的腰背部和臀部疼痛可能会让运动员感到沮丧,也会给医生带来诊断难题。骶骨应力性骨折越来越被认为是这些症状的一个潜在原因。由于普通X光片通常正常,且同位素骨扫描的辐射剂量很大,本病例报告强调了磁共振成像在骶骨应力性骨折诊断中的替代应用。
