The ribs are an uncommon site of stress fracture. Typical locations are the first rib anterolaterally, the fourth through ninth ribs laterally and posterolaterally, and the posteromedial upper ribs. Muscular forces are predominantly responsible for these fractures. This article reviews the mechanisms of injury in various activities and illustrates the scintigraphic appearance of rib stress fractures.
肋骨是应力性骨折的少见部位。典型部位是第一肋骨前外侧、第四至第九肋骨外侧及后外侧,以及后内侧上部肋骨。这些骨折主要由肌肉力量所致。本文回顾了各种活动中的损伤机制,并阐述了肋骨应力性骨折的闪烁显像表现。
