Abstrakt: A female with a diagnosis of acute ankle sprain was evaluated for physical therapy treatment. Although radiological evidence was negative, the patient's history and symptoms suggested a stress fracture of the fibula. Application of ultrasound intensified the pain when directed to a specific point on the fibula. At a later date, subsequent radiological evidence indicated a stress fracture at the point of maximum sensitivity to ultrasound. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1981;2(3):134-136.
