Is There Any Difference Healing A Stress Fracture Vs. Traumatic Fracture?

It’s important to understand they were talking about similar cracks in similar bones that remain in a similar position. We’re not talking about broken bones that are displaced.
If you jump off a ladder, you break the bone and it’s moved out of position, that is a completely different story. Stress fractures don’t generally get displaced as much as traumatic fractures.
If there’s a crack in the bone because of a stress fracture, the bone is not displaced. But how does that compare to similar (non-displaced )traumatic fracture?
Is there any difference in healing between a stress fracture versus a traumatic fracture?
Well, that’s what we’re talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.

So I’ve been having medial tibia stress syndrome for more than a year now. My doc did an xray but found nothing wrong. No periostitis was detected too. Does this mean I don’t have any stress reaction/periostitis at all? Will it show up on an mri?

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story with others. That sounds super frustrating! I couldn't provide any medical advice based on that amount of information. But we could jump on a webcam call or phone call if needed to discuss in detail. To me, a year certainly seems way too long!
