Stress fracture of acetabular roof is an unusual cause of hip pain. It is considered as an underdiagnosed entity. People who are more susceptible to experience this fracture are athletes, soldiers and dancers. We present the case of an 11 year old girl with a roof acetabular stress fracture for which the diagnosis and follow-ups were possible by the means of MRI. The treatment was keeping the child at a complete rest. Failure to abide with this treatment can cause the stress fracture to evaluate into a complete fracture.
髋臼顶应力性骨折是髋部疼痛的一种罕见病因。它被认为是一种诊断不足的病症。更容易发生这种骨折的人群是运动员、士兵和舞者。我们报告一例11岁女童髋臼顶应力性骨折的病例,通过磁共振成像(MRI)得以进行诊断和随访。治疗方法是让患儿完全休息。不遵守这种治疗可能导致应力性骨折发展为完全骨折。
