Resumen (ES)
We present 13 cases of stress fractures in children, collected in our center during
the last 5 years. The age of patients ranged from 4 to 15 years old. In agreement with literature,
we found a greater incidence on males (9 of 13 cases), and a predominant location on the proximal
shaft of the tibia (7 cases). One of the most interesting aspects of this type of fractures is their
clinical and radiological similarity with infections and tumors. Therefore, it is essential to achieve
a right diagnosis based on standard radiographs, tomography, radionuclide bone scan, CT-scan
and, most recently, MRI.
