Popis: Exercise-induced stress reactions and stress fractures are common causes of pain in athletes. Although most stress fractures are trans- verse in orientation, rarely longitudinal stress fractures may occur in the tibia and femur. Early detection is important to start prompt and appropriate treatment to prevent complications. Thus, familiarity with the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and treatment of this rare entity are important for proper and timely treatment.
