Abstrakt: In the skeletally immature patient, physeal stress injury is a common diagnosis in repetitive stress injury; in this case, we present an atypical location of physeal stress injury of the bilateral proximal fibulae. There are multiple well-documented diagnoses of physeal stress injury involving the shoulder, elbow, wrist and tibia, often considered when patients present with the typical history of intensive sports training and pain exacerbated by repetitive movements. However, isolated proximal fibular physeal stress injury is either unusual or under-recognized and underreported. Although less common, proximal fibular physeal stress injury should be among the diagnostic considerations in active adolescents complaining of lower extremity pain as failure to identify this entity can lead to delayed care and preventable potential long-term musculoskeletal effects.
