A fracture resulting from repeated, relatively trivial, trauma to an otherwise normal bone. It occurs not as a sudden break in bony continuity but as the result of alteration of the bone in the form of gradual local dissolution. Fatigue fracture occurs most frequently in the lower extremities, especially the metatarsals, and only rarely in the upper extremities. 2, record 5, English, - fatigue%20fracture
