In a prospective study of stress fractures the hypothesis that a shock-absorbing orthotic device worn within military boots could lessen the incidence of stress fractures was tested. The incidence of metatarsal, tibial, and femoral stress fractures was lower in the orthotic group, but only the latter difference was statistically significant. The time of onset and the location of stress fractures between orthotic and nonorthotic users did not differ. These findings suggest that the incidence of femoral stress fractures, which are the most dangerous type of stress fracture because of their high risk of developing into displaced fractures, can be reduced by an orthotic device.
在一项关于应力性骨折的前瞻性研究中，对以下假设进行了检验：在军靴内穿着减震矫形器可降低应力性骨折的发生率。矫形器组中跖骨、胫骨和股骨应力性骨折的发生率较低，但只有股骨应力性骨折发生率的差异具有统计学意义。使用矫形器和未使用矫形器的人群在应力性骨折的发病时间和部位上并无差异。这些发现表明，由于股骨应力性骨折发展为移位骨折的风险很高，是最危险的应力性骨折类型，而使用矫形器可降低其发生率。
