Download PDF

Abstract

1. Five patients with seven fatigue fractures of the lower third of the tibia are described; two had bilateral fractures. There is a striking similarity in the site and appearance of these fractures.

2. All occurred in middle-aged or elderly people without a history of unusual activity or illness.

3. The fractures are so nearly identical as to constitute an entity which, as far as we are aware, has not been described before.
