Understanding Stress Fractures
Long distance runners often develop stress fractures due to repetitive impact. CT imaging reveals early cortical changes and subtle fractures that may not appear on X ray.
Why CT Is Effective
Its high resolution helps clinicians detect injuries before they worsen.
Guiding Treatment
CT findings support decisions about rest, footwear changes, and training modification.
Preventing Long Term Damage
Early imaging prevents chronic foot issues that can end a runners career.
