Epidemiology of stress fractures among military cadets: a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary military medical center

Abstract

While conservative therapy suffices for most, nearly one-third of fractures required surgical stabilization. These findings support early imaging-based diagnosis, graduated training protocols, and targeted prevention strategies to reduce injury burden and maintain operational readiness.
