How to osteoFIGHT bone stress injuries

Application of the 6 principles of training to build ‘fitter bones’ – Part of the BJSM’s Young Clinician blog series Running alone is not a great bone-strengthening activity, partly due to the high occurrence of low energy availability in distance runners, but also because bone cells become “deaf” to repetitive loading.1 3 8 It only takes 100 strides for bones to lose 95% of their mechanosensitivi

Review Description

Bone stress injuries (BSIs) are common running injuries and may occur at a rate of 20% annually. Both biological and biomechanical risk factors contribute to BSI. Evaluation of a runner with suspected BSI includes completing an appropriate history and physical examination. MRI grading classification for BSI has been proposed and may guide return to play. Management includes activity modification, optimizing nutrition, and addressing risk factors, including the female athlete triad. BSI prevention strategies include screening for risk factors during preparticipation evaluations, optimizing nutrition (including adequate caloric intake, calcium, and vitamin D), and promoting ball sports during childhood and adolescence.
