“…Younger age as a risk factor for stress fractures has been previously shown in the Israeli military. [17] Their findings showed that as age increased from 17 years through to 26 years, bony injury risk decreased by 28% per year. The findings in this present study are consistent with this trend, although it is difficult to compare the two populations, with only 3.3% (26 out of 796) of the military population over the age of 19 years, whereas this study's population was comprised of athletes of whom 98% were above the age of 19 years.…”

Background. Cricket fast bowlers have a high incidence of injury and have been the subject of previous research investigating the effects of previous injury, workload and technique. Bone stress injuries are of particular concern as they lead to prolonged absences from the game, with younger bowlers appearing to be at particular risk. Objectives. To investigate the variation in severity and incidence of injury to different tissue types in fast bowlers and ascertain whether age is a significant risk factor for these injuries. Methods. A retrospective analysis of match bowling exposure in 215 separate fast bowlers over a 14-year period was undertaken. This information was amalgamated with injury surveillance data providing information on the incidence, location, tissue type and severity of injury. Age of the bowler was determined and the bowlers were stratified into five age groups to determine the influence of age on the injury variables. Results. Younger bowlers (less than 22 years old) were 3.7-6.7 times more likely to suffer a bony injury than all the other age groups. Older bowlers (greater than 31 years old) were 2.2-2.7 times more likely to suffer a tendon injury than the 3 youngest groups.Conclusion. This study has demonstrated that younger age is a considerable risk factor in the development of bone stress injuries in cricket fast bowlers. In addition there appears to be a higher incidence of tendon injuries in older fast bowlers although this may be explained by the current classification system of joint impingement as a tendon injury.

purpose. To evaluate the outcome of one-stage longstem total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for patients with arthritic knees and tibiofemoral stress fractures. Methods. Records of 11 men and 18 women aged 47 to 78 (mean, 66) years who underwent fixedbearing posterior-stabilised TKA for osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis of the knee with tibial (n=31) and femoral (n=3) stress fractures were reviewed. All the tibial fractures involved the proximal half. There were 7 associated fibular stress fractures. Of the 31 knees with tibial stress fractures, 26 and 5 manifested varus and valgus deformity, respectively. results. The mean follow-up period was 51 (range, 24-96) months. The mean tibiofemoral angle improved from 23.2º to 1.9º varus. The mean Knee Society knee score improved from 38.5 (range, 15-63) to 89.6 (range, 80-95)

Extraarticular fractures of the pelvic ring after periacetabular osteotomy could impair stability of the acetabular fragment and cause poor clinical and radiographic outcomes. We evaluated 17 patients (17 hips) with fractures of either the ipsilateral os pubis (n = 12) or os ischium (n = 5) during the postoperative period after periacetabular osteotomy. Ischial fractures seemed more debilitating with two of five resulting in painful nonunions for which additional surgery was performed. In contrast, only one patient with pubic fracture had additional surgery. Ischial fractures took almost twice as long to achieve resolution of symptoms compared with pubic fractures, and when left untreated, asymptomatic nonunions developed in three of five.

Youth is a risk factor for stress fracture. A study of 783 infantry recruits

Abstract: We report a prospective study of783 male Israeli recruits aged from 17 to 26 years. The risk of stress fracture was inversely proportional to age on both univariate and multivariate analysis. Each year of increase of age above 17 years reduced the risk of stress fracture by 28%.
