Abstract

A 30-year-old female amateur half-marathon runner presented with increasingly severe pain in the right thigh. Plain film was reported as normal and she was referred for bone scintigraphy. The study demonstrated increased uptake of tracer on the compression side of the right femoral neck in keeping with a stress fracture. These fractures are increasingly reported in middle and long-distance runners with females often being amenorrheic and tending toward osteoporosis.
