What’s an incomplete stress fracture?

It refers to a type of bone fracture where there is a partial break in the bone. Unlike complete fracture where the bone is completely broken, an incomplete stress fracture involves a crack or a small break in the bone that has not fully separared the bone fragments.

This kind of fracture is commonly caused by repetitive stress or overuse of a specific bone or joint.

The symptoms of an incomplete stress fracture may include localised pain and tenderness around the affected bone, swelling and discomfort that worsens with activity, and there may be visible bruising or a palpable lump at the site of the fracture.
