Abstract

Stress fractures are multifactorial injuries frequently encountered in athletic populations. Although their etiology is commonly multifactorial, addressing these injuries with rest and activity modification frequently results in complete healing and return to full activity within several weeks. Nevertheless, for certain types of stress fractures, healing may be delayed beyond several months or result in nonunion. In these cases, other nonoperative modalities than just rest and activity modification may be considered. This chapter discusses few of these modalities which are aimed to hasten the healing process, the rationale for using them, and basic science as well as clinical outcome studies which address their advisability.
