fracturas por fatiga
fracturas por tensión
Scope note: Fracturas producidas por la tensión ocasionada por ejercicios repetitivos. Se cree que surgen por una combinación de FATIGA MUSCULAR y fallo óseo, y ocurren en situaciones en las que la REMODELACIÓN ÓSEA predomina sobre la reparación. Los sitios más comunes de fracturas por estrés son el METATARSO, el PERONÉ, la TIBIA, y el CUELLO FEMORAL.

Tree number(s): C26.404.437
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015775
Scope note: Fractures due to the strain caused by repetitive exercise. They are thought to arise from a combination of MUSCLE FATIGUE and bone failure, and occur in situations where BONE REMODELING predominates over repair. The most common sites of stress fractures are the METATARSUS; FIBULA; TIBIA; and FEMORAL NECK.
Annotation: coordinate with specific organ /inj or organ/fracture term; entry term FATIGUE FRACTURES refers to bone fractures: do not use for metal fatigue as in fatigue fractures of amalgams, nails, screw plates, etc. (index STRESS, MECHANICAL))
