Additional Info
- Stress fractures, which are frequently hairline fractures, are due to repetitive stress rather than a single big trauma. As a result, athletes tend to get them.
- Note that this is a "one size fits all" code, in that stress fractures in any bone get this code. We did not create different codes for different bones.
