  • Title: Spiral fracture of the distal tibia: an unusual stress fracture.
    Author: Spector FC, Karlin JM, DeValentine S, Scurran BL, Silvani SL.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1983; 22(4):358-61. PubMed ID: 6643946.
    Abstract:
    Stress fractures in athletes are frequently a misdiagnosed and poorly understood clinical entity. As a rule, their occurrence in the tibia is limited to the junction of the middle and distal third. We describe a distal spiral tibial stress fracture in a jogger and review the pathomechanics, diagnosis, and management of such lesions.
