Özet
Stress fractures resulting from physical
exercise have been recognized since 1855,
when Breithaupt reported foot pain and
swelling in a group of Prussian soldiers
feet (1,8). They typically occur in normal
bones which are subjected to repeated
cyclic force but the strength of the force
applied on the bone should not be strong
enough to result in an acute fracture. For
this reason stress fractures are generally
seen in military recruits, ballets, dancing
students, athletic trainers who participate in repetitive travmatic sporting activites (1,5).
In our country, football games
among amateur players has become
popular especially on small football areas
covered by carpets, but the floor is
concrete. In this paper a case of calcaneus stress fracture following a football
game which was performed on small
football area, is presented. Although
repetitive physical exercise is the cause in
most of the reported stress fractures
cases our report demonstrate it is not
essential and it seems that the hard
concrete floor of the football area is the
cause.
