  • Title: Stress fracture of the mid-tibial shaft.
    Author: Orava S, Hulkko A.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Scand; 1984 Feb; 55(1):35-7. PubMed ID: 6702426.
    Abstract:
    In a series of 151 tibial stress fractures in athletes and joggers, seven were located at the mid-third of the diaphysis. The diagnosis was made radiographically several months after the onset of symptoms; a transverse fissure line or gap was noted in the middle of the hypertrophied anterior tibial cortex. Histologic examination of a biopsy of the fracture line showed features resembling pseudoarthrosis. All the patients returned to physical activities.
