Femoral Neck Stress Fracture in a Female Runner.

Femoral Neck Stress Fracture in a Female Runner. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2018 Apr;48(4):343 Authors: Lamothe MA, Elliott JM, Chang AH Abstract A 23-year-old woman was referred to physical therapy by her primary care physician for a 4-week history of right groin pain that had progressively worsened while training for a half-marathon. Before the physical therapy referral, the primary care physician ordered radiography of the right hip, which was unremarkable for fracture. Following examination, the physical therapist suspected osseous or soft tissue abnormality and requested that the primary care physician order magnetic resonance imaging without contrast, which revealed a femoral neck stress fracture.
