| Abstract: | The ribs are an uncommon site of stress fracture. Typical locations are the first rib anterolaterally, the fourth through ninth ribs laterally and posterolaterally, and the posteromedial upper ribs. Muscular forces are predominantly responsible for these fractures. This article reviews the mechanisms of injury in various activities and illustrates the scintigraphic appearance of rib stress fractures. |
