Abstract

The article presents a case report involving a deployed 28-year-old active soldier who had a painful mass on his right leg. It mentions that the soldier had prior focal pain on the same region in his right leg that radiated to his knee joint during prolonged walking or short distant running. Accordingly, the author states that stress fractures on the posterior medial side of the tibia often have the best prognosis while poorer prognosis usually occur in stress fractures on the distal tibia.
