Abstrakt: A 13-year-old female presented after repeated trauma with pain of the distal end of the thigh. The findings on plain films, bone scan, and CT were indeterminate. MRI accurately demonstrated a fracture line with bone marrow edema, suggesting the diagnosis of stress fracture. MRI patterns of stress fracture were considered and the importance of establishing the correct diagnosis was emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
