Insufficiency fractures are a type of stress fractures that occur due to physiological stress on weakened bones. These have certain sites of predilection of which an uncommon site is fibular shaft. Isolated bilateral fibular fractures have previously only been reported twice, where the causes were repeated trauma and fatigue fracture. Insufficiency fractures of both fibula in isolation have not previously been reported. We present this case where a young patient presented with these fractures and was found to have vitamin D deficiency on subsequent investigations.
不全骨折是一种应力性骨折，由于骨骼薄弱时的生理应力而发生。这些骨折有特定的好发部位，其中腓骨干是一个不常见的部位。孤立的双侧腓骨骨折此前仅报道过两次，病因分别是反复创伤和疲劳骨折。此前尚未报道过孤立的双侧腓骨不全骨折。我们报告了这样一例病例，一名年轻患者出现了这些骨折，后续检查发现其维生素D缺乏。
