In a prospective study of 295 male Israeli military recruits a 31% incidence of stress fractures was found. Eighty per cent of the fractures were in the tibial or femoral shaft, while only 8% occurred in the tarsus and metatarsus. Sixty-nine per cent of the femoral stress fractures were asymptomatic, but only 8% of those in the tibia. Even asymptomatic stress fractures do, however, need to be treated. Possible explanations for the unusually high incidence of stress fractures in this study are discussed.
在一项针对295名以色列男性新兵的前瞻性研究中,发现应力性骨折的发生率为31%。80%的骨折发生在胫骨干或股骨干,而跗骨和跖骨仅占8%。69%的股骨应力性骨折无症状,但胫骨应力性骨折无症状的仅占8%。然而,即使是无症状的应力性骨折也需要治疗。文中讨论了该研究中应力性骨折发生率异常高的可能原因。
