Stress fractures were first described in Prussian soldiers by Breithaupt in 1855. They occur as the result of repeatedly making the same movement in a specific region, which can lead to fatigue and imbalance between osteoblast and osteoclast activity, thus favoring bone breakage. In addition, when a particular region of the body is used in the wrong way, a stress fracture can occur even without the occurrence of an excessive number of functional cycles. The objective of this study was to review the most relevant literature of recent years in order to add key information regarding this pathological condition, as an updating article on this topic.

Além disso, quando usamos uma determinada região do corpo de maneira errônea, a fratura por estresse pode ocorrer mesmo sem que ocorra um número excessivo de ciclos funcionais. O objetivo deste estudo é revisar a literatura mais relevante dos últimos anos para agregar as principais informaç ões a respeito dessa patologia em um artigo de atualização do tema. © 2015 Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia.
