Stress Fracture

Stress Fracture is available through SUNY Downstate's Transparent Access Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

A stress fracture is a small crack in a bone caused by repetitive strain or overuse. It is a common injury among athletes and people who engage in high-impact activities. These fractures most often occur in the weight-bearing bones of the foot and lower leg. Treatment for stress fractures typically involves rest, immobilization, and gradual return to activity.
