Stress fractures likely have a 1–2% incidence in athletes in general. In runners, a more vulnerable population, incidence rates likely range between 3.2 and 21% with female runners having greater susceptibility. The incidence of femoral shaft stress fractures is less well known. New basic and translational science research may impact the way clinicians diagnose and treat femoral stress fractures. By using a fictitious case study, this paper applies bone science to suggest new approaches to evaluating and treating femoral shaft stress fractures in the running population.

骨科学的进步如何为跑步运动员股骨干骨应力损伤的检查和治疗提供信息

一般而言，应力性骨折在运动员中的发生率可能为 1-2%。在跑步者这一更脆弱的人群中，发病率可能在 3.2% 到 21% 之间，女性跑步者的易感性更高。股骨干应力性骨折的发生率鲜为人知。新的基础和转化科学研究可能会影响临床医生诊断和治疗股骨应力性骨折的方式。通过使用一个虚构的案例研究，本文应用骨科学提出了评估和治疗跑步人群股骨干应力性骨折的新方法。
