Stress fracture, Vitamin D deficiency, Calcaneal fracture, Foot and ankleAbstract
Calcaneal stress fracture is a rare clinical entity associated with diverse etiological factors such as high intensity training, female sex, smoking and poor nutrition. The authors present a case of a calcaneal stress fracture treated conservatively with immobilization, limited weight bearing and vitamin D supplementation.
