A Dr. Jeanne Morrison, PhD , Family Medicine, answered. You can manage a closed fracture on a daily basis by elevation of the extremity, ice in the early stage (be careful not to burn the skin - keep a layer of padding between the ice bag and the skin), and rest. Good nutrition and adequate hydration is also important.
The following advice may protect you from developing stress fractures in the first place: 1  Progress slowly in any sport. Gradually increase time, and intensity, running mileage or effort and follow the ten percent rule. 2  Eat well, and include calcium-rich foods in your diet, especially if you are a female athlete.
