How to deal with stress fracture of foot and bone?

Stress fracture may be a quite common problem among athletes, especially when there are many repeated sports such as running. Stress fractures occur in almost all bones during exercise. Stress fracture is a small fracture of bone caused by excessive repetitive force. Bones are absolutely dynamic tissues. When there is time, bones can be adjusted according to changes in bones. If the greater pressure brought by running and other sports really increases steadily, your bone tissue can adapt to the increased pressure and become stronger. However, these loads are usually accelerated too fast, and when the bone tissue has no chance to use them, the stress may break. If there are problems with bone tissue health, including osteoporosis, vitamin d deficiency, calcium reduction, this situation will further occur. Women are more prone to stress fractures. If there is enough time to improve the stress fracture, generally there will be no problem. However, stress fracture can be divided into high risk and low risk. High risk stress fracture is a kind of stress fracture, which may lead to ischemic necrosis and other complications. This stress fracture requires special care.

A common low risk stress fracture may be a heel stress fracture that affects the calcaneus of the foot. When the lower cervical vertebra is running, we will hit the hard surface, and the lower cervical vertebra tendon will pull extra bone, so the lower cervical vertebra tissue will be under great pressure. If the amount of running increases gradually, calcaneal stress fracture is unlikely to occur. When stress fracture occurs to calcaneus, calcaneus pain will gradually increase. Most of them occur in the posterior part of the calcaneus, but some of them occur in the middle, and a few occur in the anterior part. The typical feature is that the pain is positive in the bone crush test. In this test, you will squeeze the wago from the side, which will cause inconvenience and usually become quite sensitive.

The stress fracture of fibula needs to rest for about a week at first. Runners should switch to other activities in order to stop running and maintain their health and physical strength for at least one week. If necessary, nutritional and bone health issues should be examined and resolved. In the most difficult cases, lunar boots or walking fixtures are usually required. If the pain is relieved, you should gradually increase your activity level. If you are not careful, stress fracture can easily occur again or intensify. Through the final bone compression test, the symptoms and signs are generally examined very carefully. When a stress fracture occurs in the posterior calcaneus, in addition to the rest time in the first few weeks, it will take several months or more to resume full activity. If we hurry up, the second thing may happen.
