What would cause stress fractures in the feet of a 15 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stress Fractures: Stress fractures can occur as a result of repetitive amounts of minor trauma to an area. In the foot, the second metatarsal is one of the more common sites to find stress fractures. Stopping whatever activity is causing pain is important in the treatment of the stress fracture.
