Sacral stress fractures - Tracking down nonspecific pain in distance runners
Sacral stress fractures - Tracking down nonspecific pain in distance runners PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE Fredericson, M., Salamancha, L., Beaulieu, C. 2003; 31 (2): 31-?Abstract
Sacral stress fractures are an underrecognized cause of low-back and gluteal pain in distance runners. The combination of low bone density and increased activity blurs the boundary between fatigue and insufficiency fractures in many runners. MRI is the preferred radiologic technique because of its ability to localize the site of injury and rule out tumors, disk disease, or sacroiliitis. By identifying the condition early, clinicians contribute to a favorable outcome and help most athletes return to full activity in 12 to 14 weeks.
