Stress fractures are common over-use injuries which include fatigue and insufficiency fractures. Stress fractures affecting the juvenile skeletal system are rare and are described as having a good prognosis. The incidence of stress fractures in young athletes has increased with the popularization of sports among children. Stress fractures are less common in children than in adults. A combination of intrinsic or anatomical factors and extrinsic factors such as training pitfalls and environmental insufficiencies predispose athletes to stress fractures. This study aims to outline current knowledge about clinical manifestations, diagnostic imaging, and treatment of stress fractures in children.
