Stress fractures are also common in the calcaneus (heel); fibula (the outer bone of the lower leg and ankle); talus (a small bone in the ankle joint); and the navicular (a bone on the top of the midfoot). The most common sites for stress fractures in the foot are the metatarsal bones.
Definition. A stress fracture is a tiny crack in the bone. Most stress fractures occur in the lower leg and foot. They can also occur in the hip and other areas. Most stress fractures can heal spontaneously.However, some may lead to complete fractures, or may require surgery.Stress Fractures of the Tibia and Fibula.auses. A stress fracture is not caused by a blow to the bone. Rather, it is typically caused by repeated stress or overuse. Some causes are: 1  Increasing the amount or intensity of an activity too quickly (most common). 2  Switching to a different playing or running surface. 3  Wearing improper or old shoes.
