Unraveling stress fractures: from cellular and molecular mechanisms to therapeutic approaches.

A recent review in the Journal of Orthopaedic Translation examines the cellular and molecular underpinnings of stress fractures, synthesizing current knowledge on how repetitive mechanical loading disrupts bone remodeling at a microscopic level. The authors also survey emerging and established therapeutic strategies aimed at prevention and recovery. Physical therapists managing athletes and active patients with bone stress injuries may find the mechanistic insights useful for guiding load management and rehabilitation decisions.
