Popis:	Background: Stress fractures are overuse injuries that historically afflict a large number of military recruits, likely because of the sudden increase of high-intensity activity, such as running and marching. Case: A 23-year-old male U.S. Air Force recruit presented with hip pain during his second week of basic training and was diagnosed with bilateral femoral neck stress fractures, grade 4 on the right and grade 3 on the left. This is the first known case of concurrent bilateral femoral neck stress fractures in a U.S. military recruit reported in the medical literature. Conclusion: This report describes a severe case of stress fracture in an individual with no readily identifiable risk factors.
