  • Title: Stress injury of the rib in a swimmer.
    Author: Heincelman C, Brown S, England E, Mehta K, Wissman RD.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 2014 Sep; 43(9):1297-9. PubMed ID: 24664481.
    Abstract:
    Rib stress injuries are uncommonly reported but have been documented among athletes, most notably rowers. There have only been two prior case reports of rib stress injuries in swimmers, both of which were young females. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was either not obtained or the imaging characteristics were incompletely described. We present a case of an isolated third rib stress injury in a collegiate male swimmer diagnosed via MR imaging. We briefly discuss the possible etiologies for rib stress injuries, their MR appearance, as well as their treatment.
