Overview. A stress fracture is a small crack in a bone caused by overuse and high impact. A stress fracture results from repetitive use injuries that exceed the ability of the bone to repair itself.Impact forces are transferred to the bones, causing microfractures that consolidate into stress fractures. Stress fractures occur in weight-bearing areas, commonly the lower leg (tibia) and foot (metatarsals). stress fracture results from repetitive use injuries that exceed the ability of the bone to repair itself.
