ABSTRACT

Stress fractures are caused by the repetitive force, often by overuse such as repeatedly long term exercises. They are usually seen in elderly postmenopausal women and frequently affects pelvic ring bones. Although, pelvic insufficiency fractures could be asymptomatic, they may also present as groin and low back pain. Pelvis stress fractures which are hard to diagnose and often unnoticed should be kept in the mind especially in elder patients with low back and hip pain in the differential diagnosis.
