Fractures ( 58 Questions)

Which population is at a higher risk of stress fractures?



Correct Answer: A

Adolescents, especially those involved in high-impact sports or activities, are at a higher risk of stress fractures due to their bones still growing and being more susceptible to repetitive stress injuries.

  
b. Young adults: Young adults may also be at risk of stress fractures, but adolescents are more vulnerable due to their ongoing bone growth and development.
c. Older adults: While older adults are at risk of fractures, stress fractures are more commonly seen in younger individuals engaged in high-impact activities.
d. Middle-aged adults: Middle-aged adults may experience fractures related to osteoporosis, trauma, or other factors, but they are not the primary population at risk for stress fractures.
