Stress fracture of the pubic ramus in female recruits.
نویسندگان
چکیده
During a four-month period we observed 12 stress fractures of the inferior pubic ramus in 11 military recruits undergoing basic training. Eleven of these were in women. This high number was considered to be caused by the introduction of mixed training of male and female recruits; this forces women to increase their stride length when marching. The presenting symptom was chronic groin pain which failed to settle with rest, and the clinical diagnoses were confirmed by radiographs in all but one patient who was diagnosed by 99mTc bone scanning. Since the required stride length has been reduced there have been no new cases of stress fracture of the pelvis.

Fatigue Stress Fractures of the Pubic Ramus in the Army: Imaging Features with Radiographic, Scintigraphic and MR Imaging Findings
Although fatigue fractures are not unusual in athletes and military personnel those of the pubic ramus are rare. We report three cases of fatigue fractures of the inferior pubic rami in two male recruits and one female military cadet. On the initial radiograph, most of the lesions were subtle and easy to overlook. However, bone scintigraphy provided more distinct images that allowed easy and ea...

This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical mechanism of pelvic ring injury for the stability of pelvis using the finite element (FE) method. Complex pelvic fracture (i.e., anterior column with posterior hemitransverse lesion) combined with pelvic ramus fracture was used to evaluate the biomechanics stability of the pelvis. Three FE fracture models (i.e., Dynamic Anterior Plate-Screw System f...

INTRODUCTION Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a useful treatment for patients with dysplastic hips and has been performed for the young patients with or without osteoarthritis of the hips. We have occasionally experienced inferior pubic ramus fractures in patients several months after PAO (Figure 1). Stress fractures of the pubis are known to occur in athletes or patients who have undergone to...
